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.
If the button is pushed again, the window will stop
in the desired position.
Pull the window switch to the first detent to move
the window upward. Pull the window switch to the
second detent, and the window will go up
automatically.
To close the window, pull the window switch up.
To stop the window during Auto-Up operation,
push or pull the window switch again.
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.

sunroof close switch, then push and hold it
again within five seconds. Continue to hold
the switch while the sunshade fully opens,
the sunroof glass fully opens, followed by the
glass fully closing then the sunshade fully
closing.
6. Release the switch once all of the operations stop. Re-initialization of the sunroof motor is
now complete.

NOTE:
If the switch is released prior to full completion of
the operations described, the entire re-initializa -
tion procedure must be repeated from step 1.
7. Confirm express operations for the sunroof glass and sunshade are functional for
opening and closing operations.
SUNROOF MAINTENANCE

PARKSENSE SYSTEM USAGE
P
RECAUTIONS

NOTE:
Some conditions may influence the performance
of the ParkSense system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to the
presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick paint on
the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false obstacle (echo
interference) due to mechanical interference,
for example when washing the vehicle or in
extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems of trucks or
pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can be influenced by the
position of the sensors. For example, due to a
change in the ride setting (caused by wear to
the shock absorbers or suspension), by
changing tires, overloading the vehicle or
operations that require the vehicle to be
lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers or other
adhesives over the sensors as this will affect
system performance.
The presence of a trailer hitch without a trailer.
This may interfere with the operation of the
parking sensors. Before using the ParkSense
system, it is recommended to remove or close
the trailer hitch assembly when the vehicle is
not being used for towing.
LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING (LDW) SYSTEM
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING OPERATION
The Lane Departure Warning system uses a
forward looking camera located on the
windshield to detect lane markings and measure
vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are detected and
the vehicle passes over one without an activated
turn signal, the system emits a visual as well as
an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the line of
the lane without any intervention from the driver,
the surpassed line will light up on the display
(left or right) to urge the driver to bring the vehicle
back into the limits of the lane.
CAUTION!
Projecting loads on the roof of the vehicle
may interfere with the correct operation of
the camera. Before starting, make sure the
load is correctly positioned in order not to
cover the camera operating range.
Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects.
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rearview mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow, or
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be compromised
by the presence of dust, condensation, dirt
or ice on the windshield, by traffic conditions
(e.g. vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with a
small radius of curvature), by road surface
conditions and by driving conditions (e.g.
off-road driving). Make sure the windshield is
always clean. Use specific detergents and
clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windshield. The camera operation may also
be limited or absent in some driving, traffic
and road surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively an authorized dealer. Do not
replace the windshield on your own. It is
advisable to replace the windshield if it is
damaged in the area of the camera.
CAUTION!
