Power windows (if equipped)The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls that door’s window.
However, the driver has a power window
lock switch which can block the operation
of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite win-
dow slightly to reduce the condition.✽ ✽NOTICE• To prevent the power window system
from the possibility of damage, do not
open or close two windows at the same
time. This will also ensure the longevi-
ty of the fuse.
• Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door and the individ-
ual door window switch in opposing
directions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and cannot
be opened or closed.

window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
