In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
Power windows
The Engine Start/Stop button must
be in the ON position for power win-
dows to operate. Each door has a
power window switch that controls
the door’s window. The driver has a
power window lock switch which can
block the operation of rear passen-
ger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
engine is turned off. However, if the
front doors are opened, the power
windows cannot be operated even
within the 30 second period.
If the window cannot be close
because it is blocked by objects,
remove the objects and close the
window.
✽NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) in an open (or partially
open) position, your vehicle may
demonstrate a wind buffeting or
pulsation noise. This noise is a nor-
mal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the follow-
ing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows
down, partially lower both front
windows approximately one inch. If
you experience the noise with the
sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.
✽NOTICE
Do not install any accessories in the
vehicle that extend into the open
window area. Such objects will
impact the proper function of the
Automatic reversal "jam protec-
tion" feature described on page 4-33
of this manual.
Window opening and closing
Pressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the sec-
ond detent position (6) completely
lowers or lifts the window even when
the switch is released. To stop the
window at the desired position while
the window is in operation, pull up or
press and release the switch to the
opposite direction of the movement.
If the power window is not operated
correctly, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:

1.Press the Engine Start/Stop Buttontwice to the ON position.
2.Close the window and continue pulling up on the driver’s power
window switch for at least 1 second
after the window is completely
closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the win-
dow is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the window will detect the
resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window
will stop upward movement then
lower approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm).
And if the power window switch is pulled
up continuously again within 5 seconds
after the window is lowered by the auto-
matic window reversal feature, the auto-
matic window reversal will not operate. The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when
the “auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.
The automatic reverse feature does-
n’t activate while resetting power
window system. Make sure body
parts or other objects are safely out
of the way before closing the win-
dows to avoid injuries or vehicle
damage.
OKH043277N
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to
avoid injuries or vehicle damage.
If an object less than 0.16 in. (4
mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reverse window may
not detect the resistance and will
not stop and reverse direction.
