Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the
ON position to be able to raise or
lower the windows. Each door has a
Power Window switch to control that
door’s window. The driver has a Power
Window Lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ACC or
LOCK/OFF position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the Power Windows
will not operate even within the 30
second period.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death, do not
extend your head, arms or body outside
the windows while driving.
Information
• In cold and wet climates, power
windows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped)
opened (or partially opened), your
vehicle may demonstrate a wind
buffeting or pulsation noise. This
noise is normal and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following

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 close the sunroof.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “Clicks”.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.
Tighten the cap until it clicks one time,
otherwise the Check Engine (
) light will illuminate.
NOTICE
There may be an intermittent noise
near the refueling hole while the engine
is idling if the fuel cap is not closed
securely. This occurs normally with the
OBD system.
NOTICE
When refueling on unlevel ground,
the fuel gauge may not point to the F
position.
It is not a malfunction. If you move your
vehicle to a level ground, the fuel gauge
will move to the full position.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location of
the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.
• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a build-up of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other gasoline source, with your
bare hand.
