will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8
in.) to allow the object to be cleared.

while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 2.5 cm (1 in.). And if the power
window switch is pulled up continuously

reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.✽NOTICE

diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-
dow channel, the automatic reverse

ance and will not stop and reverse
