Key-Off Operation Function
For about 43 seconds after turning OFF the ignition SW or until the driver's or passenger's door is opened, this function enables the door windows to be operated via the power window master switch and/or the manual operation available on each passenger's seat door.
* If the battery terminal or fuse is disconnected, the glass position of all door windows have to be reset to their initial positions, one by one, by using the power window control switch and by following the procedure below:
- Reconnect the battery terminal or fuse.
- Turn ON the ignition switch.
- Lower the window of each door halfway or more with the power window switch.
- Then close the window fully with the power window switch.
Do not release the switch for at least 2 seconds after the window has fully closed.
