Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window of Type

N00528800122
If a hand or head is trapped, for safety the door window is auto-
matically lowered a little.
After the door window is lowered, clear the obstruction, then
pull up the switch again to close the door window.
NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the door window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by
trapped hand or head.

If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for
electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be
cancelled and the door window will not automatically
open/close completely.
If the window is open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door
window switch until the window has been fully closed.
Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once
again and hold it in this condition for at least 1 second,
then release it. You should now be able to operate the
driver’s door window in the normal fashion.What to do if you hear wind buffeting when driv-
ing
N00551400043
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure
on the ears or a booming or rumbling sound. Your vehicle may
exhibit wind buffeting when driving with one or both rear door
windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occur-
rence that can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear door windows open, open the front door windows as well
as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.

for electric window is replaced, the safety mecha-
nism will be cancelled.

result.

door window closes. This allows the door window to
close completely. Therefore be especially careful that
fingers are not trapped in the door window opening.
The safety mechanism is deactivated while the
switch is pulled up. Therefore be especially careful
that fingers are not trapped in the door window
opening.
Do not deliberately trap your hands or head in
order to activate the safety mechanism.
Your hand or head could be trapped and personal
injury could result.
