the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside

automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even when pressing the lower
button on the outer edge of the

Power Windows The window controls on the driver's
door panel govern all the door
windows.
There are single window controls on
each passenger door trim panel, which
operate the corresponding window.
The window controls will operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ACC
or RUN position. NOTE:
• The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Opening either
front door will cancel this feature.
The time lapse can be set. See “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for
further information.
• Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
WARNING!
Improper use of the power windows
and the sunroof (if equipped) can
however be dangerous, even with the
anti-pinch prevention system. Before
and during activation of the power
window, always check that the
passengers are not exposed to the risk
of injury both by the moving window
and by personal objects that could be
dragged or hit by it. Do not leave
unattended children in a vehicle with
a key fob RKE transmitter inside.
When getting out the vehicle, always
remove the key fob RKE transmitter to prevent the windows being
accidentally activated, posing a risk to
passengers remaining onboard.

• Any impact due to rough road
conditions may trigger the auto
reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this happens,
pull the switch lightly to the first
detent and hold to close the window
manually.
• Frequent activations of the

positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open,
open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimize the buffeting.Before Starting

equipped with the kick sensor option.
In this latter case, the power liftgate
will be opened and closed only if the
“Passive Entry” system acknowledges
the presence of the key fob RKE
