Power Windows

WARNING
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the RKE transmitter is dangerous
for many reasons; children or
others could be badly injured or
even killed. They could operate
the power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle
move. The windows will function
with the RKE transmitter in
the vehicle and they could be
seriously injured or killed if caught
in the path of a closing window.
Do not leave the RKE transmitter
in a vehicle with children.
When there are children in the
rear seat, use the window lockout
button to prevent unintentional
operation of the windows.
The window switches on the driver
door control all windows in the
vehicle. Each passenger door has
a switch that controls only that
window.
Press the front of the switch to open
the window. Pull the switch up to
close it.
The power windows work when the
vehicle is on, or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 9 21.
Express Down/Up Windows
Windows with an express-down or
up feature allow the window to be
lowered or raised without holding
the switch. The driver window
has express-down and up; the
passenger and rear windows have
only express-down.
Pull a window switch up or push it
down all the way, release it, and
the window goes up or down
automatically. Stop the window by
pushing or pulling the switch.
Express Window Anti-Pinch
Feature
If any object is in the path of the
window when the express-up is
active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and auto-reverse to a
preset factory position. Weather
conditions such as severe icing
may also cause the window to
auto-reverse. The window will
return to normal operation once the
obstruction or condition is removed.
