ation of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated

Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the win-
dow is blocked by an object or part of

resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
The distance may vary based on the
size or position of the window. 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).
