POWER WINDOWS
WARNING: To avoid risk of injury, do
not leave children or pets unattended in
your vehicle. 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. The
window will stop if you release the switch
before the window fully opens.
Lift the control to close the window. The
window will stop if you release the switch
before the window fully closes.
Note:
You may hear a pulsing noise when
just one of the windows is open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce this
noise.
Accessory Delay
You can use the window switches for
several minutes when you switch the
ignition off or until you open any door. Driver Side One-Touch Down
Press the control fully and release it. Press
again or lift it to stop the window.
Driver Side One-Touch Up
Lift the control fully and release it. Press
again or lift it to stop the window.
Bounce-Back
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.
To override this protection feature when
there is a resistance, for example in winter:
1. Close the window twice until it reaches
the point of resistance and let it
reverse.
2. Close the window a third time to the point of resistance. Bounce-back is
now disabled and you can close the
window manually. The window will go
past the point of resistance and you
can close it fully.
If the window does not close after the third
attempt the system requires service.
Resetting the Bounce-Back Feature WARNING:
The bounce-back
feature remains turned off until it is reset.
1. Lift and hold the switch until the window is fully closed.
