in the vehicle and the load it is carrying,
the headlight axis may be higher than
desired. If the vehicle is traveling on a hilly
road, the headlights may directly hit the
rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead or
the windshield of the oncoming vehicle.
The light axis can be lowered with the
operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the
switch, the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a
flat road, select position 0.

POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
.Make sure that all passengers
have their hands, etc. inside the
vehicle while it is in motion and
before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to pre-
vent unexpected use of the
power windows.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
The power windows operate when the
ignition switch is in the ON position or for
about 45 seconds after the ignition
switch is pushed to the OFF position. If
the driver’s or front passenger’s door is
opened during this period of about 45 seconds, power to the windows is can-

WARNING
There are some small distances im-
mediately before the closed position
which cannot be detected. Make sure
that all passengers have their hands,
etc., inside the vehicle before closing
the window.
If the control unit detects something
caught in the window as it is closing, the
window will be immediately lowered.
The auto reverse function can be acti-
vated when the window is closed by
automatic operation when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for 45
seconds after the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driv-
ing conditions, the auto reverse func-
tion may be activated if an impact or
load similar to something being caught
in the window occurs.
If the windows do not close auto-
matically
If the power window automatic function
(closing only) does not operate properly,
perform the following procedure to initi-
alize the power window system.
1. Push the ignition switch to start the engine.
2. Close the door.
3. After starting the engine, open the window completely by operating the
power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then
hold the switch more than 3 seconds
after the window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic
function to confirm the initialization is
complete.
