The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
onds after the ignition key removal.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-
tion.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• To prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of dam-
age, do not open or close two win-
dows at the same time. This will
also ensure the longevity of the
fuse.
• Never try to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and the
individual door window switch in
opposing directions at the same
time. If this is done, the window
will stop and cannot be opened or
closed.
CAUTION
 Make sure heads and hands
are safely out of the way
before closing a window.
 Do not allow children to play
with the power windows. Keep
the driver’s door power win-
dow lock switch in the LOCK
position (depressed). Serious
injury can result from uninten-
tional window operation by
the child.
 Do not extend face or arms
outside through the window
opening while driving.
 Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands and other
obstructions are safely out of
the way before closing a win-
dow.
