OPEN CLOSE
78RB02007
To open a window, push the switch. To close the window, lift up the switch.
The driver's window has AUTO-DOWN and AUTO-UP (if equipped) features for greater convenience (at toll booths or drive-through restaurants, for example). These features allow the driver to open or close the window without holding the window switch in DOWN or UP position. Press down or lift up the driver's window switch completely and release it. To stop the window before it reaches the FULL-DOWN or FULL-UP position, pull up or push down the switch briefly.
A WARNING
• You should always prevent children from operating the electric window switches when there are children in the vehicle. Children can be seriously injured if they get part of their body caught by the window during operation. To avoid injuring an occupant by window entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric windows when closing them. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle even only for a short time. Also do not leave children alone in a parked vehicle. Unattended children could use the electric window switches and get trapped by the window.
Pinching prevention function
(if equipped)
The driver's window is equipped with a pinching prevention function. This function detects a foreign object that is caught in the window as it is being closed by AUTOUP feature, which allows you to close the window without holding the window switch in UP position, and stops the window from closing to prevent damage.
A. WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by window entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric window when closing it. This function may not detect an object due to the size, hardness, or position of the object being caught in the closing window.
A.CAUTION
The pinching prevention function does not operate while you are holding the window switch in UP position. The pinching prevention function may not detect an object caught in the window just before the window is fully closed.
NOTE: Even if you cannot close the window by the AUTO-UP feature because there may be something wrong with the pinching prevention function, you can close the window by holding the window switch in UP position. If you drive in extreme off-road condition, the pinching prevention function may operate accidentally because the window reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initialization When you disconnect and reconnect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the function will be deactivated. In this condition, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature may remain activated. The pinching prevention function needs to be initialized.
BEFORE DRIVING
To initialize the pinching prevention function, use the following procedure: 1) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi
tion. 2) Open the driver's window fully by holding the window switch in DOWN position. 3) Close the driver's window by holding the switch in UP position, and keep holding the switch for 2 seconds after the window is fully closed. 4) Check the driver's window to see if the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
A. WARNING
Whenever you disconnect and reconnect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the pinching prevention function needs to be initialized. The pinching prevention function will not be activated until the initialization is completed.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not work after initialization, there might be something wrong with the pinching prevention function. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
