Operating the Power Windows (Type A)
-
Each passenger window can be operated with each door switch when the power window lock switch on the driver's door is in the unlocked position (Search).
-
Each passenger window can also be operated using the master control switches on the driver's door.
Normal opening/closing
To open the window to the desired position, lightly hold down the switch.
To close the window to the desired position, lightly pull up the switch.
Auto-opening/closing
To fully open the window automatically, press the switch completely down.
To fully close the window automatically, pull the switch completely up.
To stop the window partway, pull or press the switch in the opposite direction and then release it.
Power window system initialization procedure
If the battery was disconnected during vehicle maintenance, or for other reasons (such as a switch continues to be operated after the window is fully open/closed), the window will not fully open and close automatically.
Resetting of the automatic function can be performed using the master control switches or each passenger door switch.
The power window auto function reset procedure can be done on all door switches. The power window auto function will only resume on the power window that has been reset.
-
Switch the ignition ON.
-
Make sure that the power window lock switch located on the driver's door is not depressed.
-
Press the switch and fully open the window.
-
Pull up the switch to fully close the window and continue holding the switch for about 2 seconds after the window fully closed.
-
Repeat Steps 3-4 for the front passenger power window while seated in the front passenger seat.
-
Repeat Steps 3-4 for both the left and right rear power windows while seated in the rear seat.
-
Make sure that the power windows operate correctly using the door switches.
After the system has been re-initialized, each passenger window can be fully opened or closed automatically using the master control switches.
Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object blocks the window during the manual closing operation or the auto-closing operation, the window will stop and open halfway.
Make sure nothing blocks the window just before it reaches the fully closed position or while fully holding up the power window switch:
Blocking the power window just before it reaches the fully closed position or while fully holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window from closing all the way. If fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.
-
Depending on driving conditions, a closing power window could stop and start opening when the window feels a shock that is similar to something blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function activates and the power window cannot be closed automatically, pull and hold the switch fully and the window will close.
-
The jam-safe window function does not operate until the system has been reset.
Engine-off power window operation
The power window can be operated for about 40 seconds after the ignition is switched from ON to off with all doors closed. If any door is opened, the power window will stop operating.
For engine-off operation of the power window, the switch must be held up firmly throughout window closure because the auto-closing function will be inoperable.
