Wind buffeting can be described as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a booming
or rumbling sound. Your vehicle may exhibit
wind buffeting when driving with one or both
rear door windows down or partially opened.
This is a normal occurrence that can be mini-
mized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win-
dows as well as the rear door windows to
minimize the condition.
WARNING
 Before driving with a child in the vehicle,
be sure to lock the window switch to make
it inoperative. Children tampering with
the switch could easily trap their hands or
heads in the window.
Safety mechanism (Driver’s
door window of Type 1 only)
WARNING
 If the battery terminals are disconnected
or the fuse for electric window is replaced,
the safety mechanism will be cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result.
CAUTION
 The safety mechanism is deactivated just
before the door window closes. This allows
the door window to close completely. There-
fore be especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the switch is pulled up. Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fingers are not trapped in
the door window opening.
 Do not deliberately trap your hands or head
in order to activate the safety mechanism.
Your hand or head could be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.
NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by
trapped hand or head.
 If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion.
If the window is open, repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until that win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch once
again and hold it in this condition for at
least1 second, then release it. You should
now be able to operate in the normal fashion.
CAUTION
 If the battery terminals are disconnected or
the fuse for electric window is replaced, the
safety mechanism will be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically
open/close completely.
If the window is open, repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch once
again and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be
able to operate the driver’s door window in
the normal fashion.
