Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for the power windows to

WARNING
Closing Power Windows:
Closing power windows are
dangerous. A person's hands, head, or
even neck could be caught by the

even death.
This warning applies especially to
children. Make sure the opening is
clear before closing a window.
Children and Power Windows:
Leaving the power window switches
unlocked while children are in the
vehicle is dangerous. Power window
switches that are not locked with the
power window lock switch would allow
children to operate power windows
unintentionally which could result in
serious injury if a child's hands, head
or neck becomes caught by the
window. Always lock all passenger
power windows with the power
window lock switch on the driver's
side while children are in the vehicle,
and never allow children to play with
power window switches.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
don't open or close more than three
windows at once.

Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the window during the manual
closing operation or the auto-closing
operation, the window will stop and open
halfway.
WARNING
Blocking the Power Window:
Blocking the power window just
before it reaches the fully closed
position or while fully holding up the
power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the window from
stopping. If fingers are caught, serious
injuries could occur. Make sure
nothing blocks the window just before
it reaches the fully closed position or
while fully holding up the power
window switch.
NOTE
Depending on driving conditions, a
closing power window could stop and
start opening when the window feels a
shock that is similar to something
blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function
activates and the power window cannot
be closed automatically using the auto-
opening method, pull and hold the
switch fully and the window will close.

The power window can be operated about
40 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the ON position to the ACC
or LOCK position with all doors closed. If

qAuto-Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very
hot car, we have introduced a way to get a
head start on cooling it, even before you
put your seat belts on and insert your key
in the ignition. If you see the vehicle is in
a secure area, you can open the two front
windows as you approach the vehicle to
get the air moving before you even step
into the hot vehicle.
WARNING
Auto-Opening Windows and Security:
Do not let children play with your
keys. If they open the window without
your knowing, the open windows are
an even bigger invitation to a thief
than leaving the doors unlocked. Use
the Auto-Window function only when
you can see the vehicle and it is in a
secure area.
The windows can be opened for
ventilating the cabin before getting in the
vehicle.
