Power Windows

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

Each door has a power window switch that controls the window of that door. The driver's door has a power window lock button that can disable operation of the rear passenger windows.

The power windows can be operated for approximately 10 minutes after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK position.

However, if either front door is opened, the power windows cannot be operated even within the 10-minute period.

The driver's door has a master power window switch that controls all windows in the vehicle.

If the window cannot be closed because it is blocked by objects, remove the objects and close the window.

✽ NOTICE

While driving with the rear windows down or the sunroof (if equipped) open (or partially open), your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting or pulsation noise. This noise is normal and can be reduced or eliminated by taking the following actions. If the noise occurs with one or both rear windows down, lower both front windows approximately 2.5 cm (1 in.). If you hear the noise with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the sunroof opening.

CAUTION

Do not install any accessories in the vehicle that extend into the open window area. Such objects will affect the proper function of the Automatic Reverse anti-pinch function described in the Automatic Reverse section of this manual.
