window" section in this chapter.
The closing of the side windows can be

entrapment feature will not operate.

WARNING

Do not keep any part of your body up against

the window pane when opening a window. The

downward motion of the pane may pull that

pane and the door frame and trap it there. If

there is a risk of entrapment, release the

switch and pull it to close the window.
