1. Completely open the driver’s door window keepingthe operating button pushed for at least three sec-
onds after the (lower) end of travel position is
reached.
2. Completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down for at least three seconds once the
(upper) end of travel position has been reached.
3. Proceed in the same way as described in points 1 and 2 for the passenger side door. 4. Make sure that the reset is correct by checking that
the windows work automatically.
WARNING!
Improper actuation of the power windows may be
dangerous. Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with power
windows. Before and during window operation
make sure no one and no object (including cloth-
ing) is in the path of the moving glass or its
mechanism. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.
Occupants, particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while operating
the power window switches. Such entrapment may
