ПРЕДОСТЕРЕЖЕНИЕ
WARNING

A power window can trap and seriously injure a hand or fingers placed in the window opening.

Before operating a power window to close it, make sure that no passengers can be injured by the rising glass.

ПРЕДОСТЕРЕЖЕНИЕ: Выходя из автомобиля, в котором остаются дети или взрослые пассажиры,
WARNING: When leaving the vehicle with children or adult passengers inside, always remove the key from the ignition and take it with you.

The master switch panel for all power windows of the vehicle is located on the armrest of the driver's door.

To open the front passenger window, press down the front of the corresponding switch and hold it while the glass lowers to the desired position. To raise the glass, press the opposite side of the switch. When the glass reaches the desired position, release the switch.

AUTO mode – The driver's or front passenger's window can be fully lowered automatically: press the window switch firmly and release it immediately. The glass will lower fully on its own. To stop the window before it fully opens, briefly pull the switch up.

The driver's or front passenger's window can be fully raised automatically: press the window switch firmly and release it immediately. The glass will raise fully on its own. To stop the window before it fully closes, briefly press the switch.

To partially open or close the driver's or front passenger's window, lightly press the switch or pull it up and hold it. Release the switch to stop the glass at the desired position. The indicator lamp built into the AUTO button lights when the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position.

When the MAIN switch is in the off (pressed in) position, passengers cannot raise or lower the windows. To restore this function, press the MAIN switch again (the button will pop out). It is advisable to set the MAIN power window switch to the off position when children are transported in the vehicle, to prevent injury from accidentally operating a power window.

AUTO REVERSE – If the glass of any front door is closing automatically and an obstruction is encountered in its path, the glass stops rising and automatically lowers back to its original position. To close the window after it has stopped, remove the obstruction from the window opening and press the switch again.

The auto reverse function does not operate when the window is almost completely closed. Even with this function, always make sure all passengers in the vehicle are in a safe position before closing the windows.

The power windows remain operational for a certain time after the ignition is switched off.

You can raise and lower the windows for 10 minutes after the ignition is switched off (for some system versions, for 45 seconds). However, this function is canceled after any front door is opened. If you need to raise or lower the windows after this time, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position again.
