Before Driving

Windows

The power window auto function will only 

resume on a power window that has been 

reset.

1.  Switch the ignition ON.

2.  Make sure that the power window lock 

switch located on the driver's door is 

not depressed.

3.  Press the switch and fully open the 

window.

4.  Pull up the switch to fully close the 

window and continue holding the 

switch for about 2 seconds after the 

window fully closed.

Jam-safe window

If a person's hands, head or an object 

blocks the window during the auto-closing 

operation, the window will stop and open 

halfway.

WARNING

Make sure nothing blocks the window 

just before it reaches the fully closed 

position or while holding up the power 

window switch:

Blocking the power window just before 

it reaches the fully closed position or 

while holding up the power window 

switch is dangerous.

In this case, the jam-safe function 

cannot prevent the window from 

closing all the way. If fingers are 

caught, serious injuries could occur.

NOTE



  Depending on driving conditions, a 

closing power window could stop and 

start opening when the window feels 

a shock that is similar to something 

blocking it.

  In the event the jam-safe function 

activates and the power window cannot 

be closed automatically, pull and hold 

the switch and the window will close.



  The jam-safe window function does not 

operate until the system has been reset.

Engine-off power window operation

The power window can be operated for 

about 40 seconds after the ignition is 

switched from ON to off with all doors 

closed. If any door is opened, the power 

window will stop operating.

NOTE

For engine-off operation of the power 

window, the switch must be held up firmly 

throughout window closure because the 

auto-closing function will be inoperable.
