Power Windows

When the power window (main or sub) switch is operated, the door windows will open or close. This system has the following operations and features:

• A power window lock switch on the power window main switch prevents the door window glass from opening/closing with the front passenger's and rear power window sub switch.
• The power windows can be opened/closed for 30 seconds after the ignition switch is turned OFF. (The timer expires if the front door LH or RH is opened).
• The power window main switch contains a one-touch switch that will automatically open and close the driver's side door window only.
• With the safety mechanism, the power window main switch detects the pinching of obstacle such as a hand or a head when the driver's door window glass is raised. Then, the mechanism lowers the driver's door window glass for approximately 150 mm (6.0 inches). The safety mechanism is activated when the power window main switch is operated by auto-closing operation (the status when the hand is released from the switch knob after auto-closing operation). The safety mechanism operates as follows.
  • At the manual-closing operation or the continuous auto-closing operation (keep pulling up the switch knob) of the power window switch, the door window glass can be forcibly closed without safety mechanism activation even when the obstacle is detected to be pinched.
  • To secure the safety when the power window switch manual-closing or auto-closing operation is performed accidentally during the safety mechanism activation, the power window switch manual-closing and auto-closing operations are prohibited for 3 seconds after the activation of safety mechanism due to the obstacle pinching detection.
