for at least 1 second after the win-
dow is completely closed.
Automatic reversal

resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
The distance may vary based on the
size or position of the window. If the
window detects the resistance while
the power window switch is pulled up
continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower
approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm). If the power window switch is pulled
up continuously again within 5 sec-
onds after the window is lowered by

ture, the automatic window reversal
will not operate.
The automatic reverse feature for the

pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.

(0.16 in.) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reverse window may
not detect the resistance and
will not stop and reverse direc-
tion.
