  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.
  The power window auto function will only 
resume on a power window that has been 
reset.
 1.  Switch  the  ignition  ON.
   2.   Make sure that the power window lock 
switch located on the driver's door is 
not depressed.
   3.   Press the switch and fully open the 
window.
   4.   Pull up the switch to fully close the 
window and continue holding the 
switch for about 2 seconds after the 
window fully closed.
 Jam-safe  window
    If a person's hands, head or an object 
blocks the window during the auto-closing 
operation, the window will stop and open 
halfway.
WARNING
  Make sure nothing blocks the window 
just before it reaches the fully closed 
position or while holding up the power 
window switch:
  Blocking the power window just before 
it reaches the fully closed position or 
while 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  ngers are 
caught, serious injuries could occur.
 NOTE
• 
 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 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.
 NOTE
  For engine-off operation of the power 
window, the switch must be held up fi rmly 
throughout window closure because the 
auto-closing function will be inoperable.
