Windows

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, always conform to the following instructions without exception.

• When operating the power windows, be extremely careful to prevent anyone’s body parts or any other objects from being caught in the window.
• Always lock the passengers’ win-dows using the lock switch when children are riding in the vehicle.
• Always carry the key when you leave the vehicle for safety reasons and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child operating the power window.

NOTE

• If the power window system detects resistance, an impact or abnormality, the window operation may be automatically stopped to prevent further jamming, entrapment or malfunction.
  • The closing window slides down slightly and stops.
  • The opening window stops sliding down.
• The power window system may detect resistance, an impact or an abnormality in the following cases.
  • A substantial-sized object is caught between the window and the window frame.
  • A foreign object is caught between the window and the window frame.
  • The vehicle drives over a deep pothole.
• The window cannot be closed for a few seconds after the window is automatically stopped by the system.

Power window operation

Power window switches 

Driver’s side power window switches

1. For front left window (with one-touch auto up and down feature)
2. For front right window (with one-touch auto up and down feature)
3. For rear left window
4. For rear right window
5. Lock switch

All door windows can be controlled by the power window switch cluster on the driver’s side door. These switches illuminate when activated.

Passenger’s side power window switches
Each passenger’s window can be controlled by the power window switch located on the door. These switches illuminate when activated.

Operating the window

With one-touch auto up and down feature

1. Automatically close*
2. Close
3. Open
4. Automatically open*
   : To stop the window halfway, operate the switch to the opposite side.

Without one-touch auto up and down feature

1. Close
2. Open

NOTE
Avoid the following.

• Continuously operating a switch in the same direction after the window is fully closed or fully opened.
• Continuously operating three or more switches all at once in the same direction after the windows are fully closed or fully opened.

Either of the operations described above may cause the power window breaker to operate making it impossible to open or close the window. Be sure to initialize the power windows. Refer to “Initialization of power window (windows with off delay function)” FP149.

Anti-entrapment function (windows with one-touch auto up and down function)

While closing the window automatically, if the window senses a substantial enough object trapped between the window and the window frame, it automatically movesdown slightly and stops. If a foreign object is caught while window is opening automatically, the window will stop.

CAUTION

• Never attempt to test the power window operation using body parts.
• If an object is caught just before the window fully closes, the system may not operate properly.

NOTE

• If a window detects an impact similar to that caused by trapping an object (for example, when the vehicle encounters a deep pothole), the anti-entrapment function may operate.
• You cannot close the window for a few seconds after the anti-entrapment function operates.

Off delay function (if equipped)
The windows can be operated for approximately 40 seconds even after the ignition switch is turned to the “ACC” or “OFF” position. If a front door is opened within 40 seconds, the off delay function is canceled.
