Manual Windows
On a vehicle with manual windows, use the window
crank to open and close each window.
Power Windows (If Equipped)
With power windows, switches on the center console
control each of the windows when the ignition is on. In
addition, on four
-door models, each rear passenger door
has a control switch for its own window.To lower the window, press and hold the rear of
the switch. To raise the window, press and hold the
switch forward.
Express Down Window
The driver's window switch has an auto
-down feature.
The driver's window can be opened to the desired
amount by pushing the rear of the switch to the first
detent. For the auto
-down feature, push the rear of the
switch all the way down. The window will continue
going down until fully opened.
To stop the window while it is lowering, briefly press
the switch forward, then release.
Lockout Switch
Four
-door models also have a lockout switch. Press the
lockout switch to disable the rear passenger's power
window switches. This will prevent rear passengers from

window switches.

Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won't have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
anti
-lock brakes.
Using Anti
-Lock
Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let anti
-lock work for you. You may feel a
slight brake pedal pulsation or notice some noise, but
this is normal.
Enhanced Traction System
If your vehicle has the optional four-speed automatic
transaxle, it also has an Enhanced Traction System
(ETS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only when
the transaxle shift lever is in the REVERSE (R),
THIRD (3) or OVERDRIVE () position and the
system senses that one or both of the front wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this
happens, the system reduces engine power and may also
upshift the transaxle to limit wheel spin.
This light will come on
when your Enhanced
Traction System is limiting
wheel spin. See ªEnhanced
Traction System Active
Lightº in the Index.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
