Wind buffeting can be described as the per-ception of pressure on the ears or a booming or rumbling sound. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting when driving with one or bothrear door windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
WA R N I N G Before driving with a child in the vehicle, be sure to lock the window switch to makeit inoperative. Children tampering withthe switch could easily trap their hands or heads in the window.
Safety mechanism (Driver’s door window of Type 1 only)
WA R N I N G If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTION The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the door window closes. This allows the door window to close completely. There- fore be especially care
ful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers 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 coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions 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 safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times in a row, the safety mechanismwill be cancelled a
nd the door window will
not close correctly. In such a case, the
following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa- tion. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until that win-dow has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for atleast1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate in the normal fashion.CAUTION
 If the battery termin
als are disc
onnected 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 thedriver’s door window sw
itch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch onceagain 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 inthe normal fashion.
