window switch Acura MDX 2011 User Guide

The windows will operate for up to 10
minutes after you turn off the ignition
switch. Opening either front door
cancels this function.
Closing a power window on
someone's hands or fingers can
cause serious injury.
Make sure your passengers are
away from the windows before
closing them.
AUTO －To open either front
window fully, push the window
switch firmly down to the second
detent, then release it. The window
automatically goes down all the way.
To stop the window from going all
the way down, pull back on the
window switch briefly. To close either front window fully,
pull back the window switch firmly to
the second detent, then release it.
The window automatically goes all
the way up. To stop the window from
going all the way up, push down on
the window switch briefly.
When you push the MAIN switch in,
the switch is off, and the passengers'
windows cannot be raised or
lowered. To cancel this feature, push
on the switch again to get it to pop
out. Keep the MAIN switch pushed
in when you have children in the
vehicle so they do not injure
themselves by operating the
windows unintentionally.
AUTO REVERSE
－If either front
window senses any obstacle while it
is closing automatically, it will
reverse direction and then stop. To
close the window, remove the
obstacle, then use the window switch
again.
Auto reverse stops sensing when the
window is almost closed. You should
always check that all passengers and
objects are away from the window
before closing it.
