The passenger door windows can also be oper-
ated 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 opera -
tion, push or pull the window switch again.Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch Protection
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 opera -
tion 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
protection is activated three consecutive
times, the automatic closing operation of the
window will be deactivated. In order to restore
the correct operation of the system, the
window must be lowered.
Power Window System Initialization
If power supply is interrupted, the electric
window automatic operation must be reinitial -
ized.
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 heli -
copter-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.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with
power windows. Do not leave the key fob in
or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not leave the
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode.
Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the
windows while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may result in
serious injury or death.

POWER SUNROOF — IF
EQUIPPED
Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of two glass
panels (the front one is power and the rear one
fixed) and is fitted with a power sunshade in
the front, as well as a manually operated
sunshade in the rear.
Operation of the sunroof is only possible with
the ignition placed in the ACC or ON/RUN posi-
tion
Ú
page 19.
Sunroof And Power Shade Buttons The sunroof has three preset positions:
Fully closed
Comfort (intermediate opening)
Fully open

NOTE:

You cannot have the sunshade closed when
the sunroof is open.
Opening And Closing The Sunroof
To open the sunroof’s front panel, push the
open/close button toward the rear of the
vehicle to open to the comfort position (half
way). Pushing the button a second time will
open to the fully open position.
To close the sunroof, push the open/close
button toward the front of the vehicle. The roof
will close completely.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in
any position by pushing the open/close button
again.

2 — Open/Close Button
3 — Vent Open/Close WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with keyless ignition in
the ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particu -
larly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the power sunroof while
operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or
death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously
injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passen -
gers are also properly secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object, to project
through the sunroof opening. Injury may
result.
CAUTION!
Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.
WARNING! (Continued)

Venting Sunroof
To bring the roof into vent position, push and
release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be activated
regardless of the position of the sunroof.
When starting with the roof in the closed posi-
tion, pushing the vent button automatically
causes the sunroof to open to the vent posi -
tion. If the roof is already open, the button
must be held until the roof reaches the
vent-opening position.
Pushing vent button again during automatic
movement of the roof will stop it.
Sun Shade Operation
The front sunshade is power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close button
toward the rear of the vehicle to open the front
sun shade to the three quarter open position.
Pushing the button a second time will open the
sunshade completely.
Push the Power Shade open/close button
toward the front of the vehicle to close the sun
shade.
The automatic motion can be interrupted in
any position by pushing the Power Shade
open/close button again.
To open the rear sunshade, pull sunshade
manually toward the rear of the vehicle.
Pinch Protect Feature
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system
capable of detecting the presence of an
obstacle during the closing movement. If an
obstacle is detected, the system intervenes
and the movement of the sunroof is immedi -
ately reversed into opening.
Re-Initialization Procedure
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof opera -
tion. It may also be necessary to initialize the
sunroof after the vehicle’s battery has been
disconnected and then reconnected.

NOTE:

The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated
during the re-initialization procedure.
Proceed as follows:
1. With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, make sure the sunroof glass is fully closed
(sunshade open).
2. Open the driver’s side door, and place the ignition in the OFF position.
3. Within five seconds, place the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
4. Within 10 seconds, push and hold the sunroof close switch (forward). After 8 - 10
seconds of holding the switch, the
re-initialization process will begin. Continue to hold the switch while the
sunroof motor cycles, and the sunshade
will fully close.
5. Once the sunroof glass and the power sunshade have stopped motion, release
the 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 the operations stop. Re-initialization of the sunroof
motors is now complete.

NOTE:

If the switch is released prior to full completion
of the operations described, the entire
re-initialization 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
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft
cloth to clean the glass panel. Periodically
check for and clear out any debris that may
have collected in the tracks.
