Power windows
The ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button must be in the
ON position for power windows to
operate.
Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door's win-
dow. The driver has a power window
lock button which can block the oper-
ation of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the engine is turned off.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
ond period.
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle.
If the window cannot be closed
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
(2.5 cm). If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly
reduce the size of the sunroof open-
ing.

down or pull up the front portion of
the corresponding switch to the first

closed, or tilted when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The sunroof can be operated for
approximately 30 seconds after the

the ACC or LOCK (or OFF) position.
However, if the front door is opened,
the sunroof cannot be operated even
within the 30 seconds period. In cold and wet climates, the sunroof
