Window opening and closing

You can open and close windows using the power window switch.

Controlling windows switch

The ignition switch or EV button must be in the ON position for power windows to operate.

The power windows can be operated for approximately 3 minutes after the ignition switch or EV button is turned to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if the front doors are opened, the power windows cannot be operated even within the 3 minutes period.

Pressing or pulling up the power window switch momentarily to the second detent position (2) completely lowers or raises the window even when the switch is released. To stop the window at the desired position while the window is in operation, pull up or press down and release the switch.

To reset the power windows

If the power window does not operate normally, the automatic power window system must be reset as follows:

  1. Turn the ignition switch or EV button to the ON position.

  2. Close the window and continue pulling up the power window switch for at least 1 second after the window is completely closed.

Automatic reversal (if equipped)

If the upward movement of the window is blocked by an object or part of the body, the window will detect the resistance and will stop upward movement. The window will then lower approximately 30 cm (12 inches) to allow the object to be cleared.

If the window detects resistance while the power window switch is pulled up continuously, the window will stop upward movement then lower approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch).

If the power window switch is pulled up continuously again within 5 seconds after the window is lowered by the automatic window reversal feature, the automatic window reversal will not operate.

NOTICE

The automatic reverse feature for the window is only active when the "auto up" feature is used by fully pulling up the switch. The automatic reverse feature will not operate if the window is raised using the halfway position on the power window switch.

WARNING

Always check for obstructions before raising any window to avoid injuries or vehicle damage. If an object less than 0.16 of an inch (4 mm) in diameter is caught between the window glass and the upper window channel, the automatic reverse window may not detect the resistance and will not stop and reverse direction.

WARNING

The automatic reverse feature doesn't activate while resetting the power window system. Make sure body parts or other objects are safely out of the way before closing the windows to avoid injuries.

CAUTION

Do not install any accessories in the vehicle that extend into the open window area. Such objects could prevent the automatic reverse feature from functioning.

WARNING

Windows

  • NEVER leave the keys in your vehicle with unsupervised children, when the vehicle is running.

  • NEVER leave any child unattended in the vehicle. Even very young children may inadvertently cause the vehicle to move, entangle themselves in the windows, or otherwise injure themselves or others.

  • Always double check to make sure all arms, hands, heads and other obstructions 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 window lock button in the LOCK position (pressed). SERIOUS INJURY can result from unintentional window operation by the child.

  • Do not extend heads or any limbs outside the window while the vehicle is in motion.

Power window lock button

The driver can disable the power window switches on the rear passengers' doors by pressing the power window lock button to the lock position.

When the power window lock button is pressed:

  • The driver's master control can operate all passengers' power windows.

  • The front passenger's control can operate the front passenger's power window.

  • The rear passengers' control cannot operate the rear passenger's power window.

CAUTION
  • To prevent possible damage to the power window system, do not open or close two windows or more at the same time. This will also help increase the longevity of the fuse.

  • Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door and the individual door window switch in opposite directions at the same time. If this is done, the window will stop and cannot be opened or closed.

WARNING

If you stay on the function after operating the Remote window opening function, it is likely to cause a theft. In addition, please use caution there might be a malfunction due to the inflow of water while raining.

CAUTION
  • The remote window opening function may abruptly stop, when you move away from your vehicle during operation. Stay in close proximity to your vehicle, while monitoring the window movement.

  • One of the windows may stop operating when the window is interrupted by excessive force. The other windows will keep operating so make sure that all windows are open.

  • Be careful when using the remote window opening function as the doors will be unlocked.
