Express Window Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when
the express-up is active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and auto-reverse to a preset factory position.
Weather conditions such as severe icing may also
cause the window to auto-reverse. The window
will return to normal operation once the obstruction or
condition is removed.
{CAUTION:
If express override is activated, the window
will not reverse automatically. You or others
could be injured and the window could be
damaged. Before you use express override,
make sure that all people and obstructions are
clear of the window path.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Override
A condition may exist that causes auto-reversal of the
window due to weather or an obstruction. In an
emergency, the anti-pinch feature can be overridden in a
supervised mode. Hold the window switch all the way
down in the express position. The window will rise for as
long as the switch is held. Once the switch is released,
the express mode is re-activated.
In this mode, the window can still close on an object in
its path. Use care when using the override mode.
