switch momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers or lifts the
window even when the switch is released.
To stop the window at the desired position
while the window is in operation, pull up
or press and release the switch to the
opposite direction of the movement.
If the power window is not operated cor-
rectly, the automatic power window sys-

tion.
2. Close the window and continue pulling up on the driver’s power window switch
for at least 1 second after the window is
completely closed. Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8
in.) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
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
again within 5 seconds after the window
is lowered by the automatic window
reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.

The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway posi-
tion on the power window switch.

object less than 4 mm (0.16 in.) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-

window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.OUN026013

Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-lowing:
ment must be correctly installed.
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position and let
it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place. The support rod must be inserted com-
pletely into the hole whenever you
inspect the engine compartment. This will
prevent the hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
WARNING - Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so may
cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING - Unsecured
engine Hood

Features of your vehicle
Always check that the fuel cap is installed
securely to prevent fuel spillage in the
event of an accident.✽ ✽NOTICE
When using an approved portable fuel
container, be sure to place the container
on the ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact with
the vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
approved portable plastic fuel contain-
ers designed to carry and store gasoline.
WARNING - Fire/explosion
risk
Read and follow all warnings post-
ed at the gas station facility. Failure
to follow all warnings will result in
severe personal injury, severe
burns or death due to fire or explo-
sion.
WARNING - Cell phonefires
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
WARNING - Static electricity
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
Do not get back into a vehicle once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
