POWER WINDOWS
POWER WINDOW CONTROLS
The power window switches work with the ignition
in the ACC or ON/RUN position and for three
minutes after the ignition has been placed in the
OFF position. When one of the front doors is
opened, this operation is disabled.
The window controls on the driver's door control
all the door windows.Power Window Switches
The passenger door windows can also be
operated by using the single window controls on
the passenger door trim panel. To open the window part way (manually), push the
window switch down briefly and release. Push
past the detent to activate “continuous
automatic” operation.

AUTO-UP FEATURE WITH ANTI-PINCH
P
ROTECTION
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety
device for closing the windows.
If the safety system senses any obstacle while the
window is closing, it will stop the window’s
movement and reverse it, depending on its position.
This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children inside the
vehicle. The anti-pinch safety function is activated both
during the manual and the automatic operation
of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is activated, the
window closing is immediately interrupted. Then
the window closing is automatically reversed and
the window lowers by about 8 inches (20 cm) in
relation to the first stop position. The window
cannot be operated during this time.
NOTE:
In the event of an error, or if the anti-pinch protec
-
tion is activated three consecutive times, the
automatic closing operation of the window will be
deactivated. In order to restore the correct opera -
tion of the system, the window must be lowered.
POWER WINDOW SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
If power supply is interrupted, the electric window
automatic operation must be reinitialized.
To perform the initialization procedure, which
must be done on each door with the doors closed,
manually fully close the window to be initialized.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the
perception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open
or partially open 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, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
