POWER WINDOWS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
Do not leave children
unattended in your vehicle and do not
let them play with the power windows.
They may seriously injure themselves. WARNING:
When closing the
power windows, you should verify they
are free of obstructions and make sure
that children and pets are not in the
proximity of the window openings. Press the control to open the window.
Lift the control to close the window.
Note:
You may hear a pulsing noise when
just one of the windows is open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce this
noise.
One-Touch Up or Down
(If Equipped)
Press or lift the switch fully and release it.
Press or lift it again to stop the window.
Note: The window may disable for up to
five minutes if you cycle it up and down
repeatedly. This helps prevent damage to
the motor. Normal operation will resume
once the motor cools. Restoring the One-Touch Up Function
You may lose the one-touch function if the
vehicle battery is low.
To reset the function after the battery
recharges:
1. Pull the switch all the way up.
2. Hold the switch until the glass stops
and continue to hold for two seconds.
3. Press the switch down and operate the
window to the full down position.
One-touch up will now be functional.
Note: Perform one-touch up re-calibration
with the door closed. Calibrating with the
door open will cause the window to
continuously bounce back.
Bounce-Back
(If Equipped)
The window will automatically stop and
reverse some distance if it detects an
obstacle while closing.
Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature WARNING: When you override the
bounce-back feature the window will
not reverse if it detects an obstacle. Take
care when closing the windows to avoid
personal injury or damage to your
vehicle.
Pull up the window switch and hold within
two seconds of the window reaching the
bounce-back position. The window will
travel up with no bounce-back protection.
The window will stop if you release the
switch before the window closes fully.

Telescoping Mirrors (If Equipped)
This feature lets you extend the mirror
about
3 in (75 mm). It is useful when
towing a trailer. You can manually pull out
or push in the mirrors to the desired
position.
Power-Folding Mirrors
(If Equipped) To fold both mirrors, switch your vehicle
on (with the ignition in accessory mode or
the engine running) and then:
1. Press the control.
2. Press control again to unfold the

move. This is normal.
Moving the mirrors 10 or more times within
one minute, or repeated folding and
unfolding of the mirrors while holding the
control down during full travel, may disable
the system to protect the motors from
overheating. Wait approximately three
minutes with the vehicle running, and up to
10 minutes with the vehicle off, for the
system to reset and for function to return to
normal.
Loose Mirror

folded, they may not work properly even
after you re-position them. You need to
reset them if:
•
The mirrors vibrate when you drive.
• The mirrors feel loose.
• The mirrors do not stay in the folded or
unfolded position.
• One of the mirrors is not in its normal
driving position.
To reset the power-fold feature, use the
power-folding mirror control to fold and
unfold the mirrors. You may hear a loud
noise as you reset the power-folding
mirrors. This sound is normal. Repeat this
process as needed each time the mirrors
are manually folded.
