In the rear, there are separate switches
under the windows.

After the ignition has been switched off:

You can still operate the power
windows for up to 15 minutes, as long
as neither of the front doors was
opened during that time.

Remove the key from the ignition
and close the doors when you

leave the vehicle, so that children
cannot operate the power windows and
possibly injure themselves.

For the convenience opening mode
with the door lock or remote control,
refer to page

Safety feature

A contact strip is located on the inside
upper frame of each of the windows. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while a window is being raised, the
system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it some-
what.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the closing

path of the window is not obstructed
whenever it is being closed. Otherwise,
an object might not touch the contact
strip in some situations (with very thin
objects, for instance).
You can override this safety feature by
pulling the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.
