Safety mechanism
If a hand or head is trapped, for safety the
door window is automatically lowered a little.
After the obstruction is removed, pull up the
switch again to close the door window.
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.

What to do if you hear wind
buffeting when driving
Wind buffeting can be described as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a booming
will
not
automatically
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.
NOTE
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion.
If the window is open, repeatedly raise the
appropriate 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 condi-
tion for at least 1 second, then release it. You
should now be able to operate all windows in
the normal function.
