Electric power windows

To open and close windows

When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the ignition key from the

lock and remember to close the doors
to prevent persons or animals from
operating the power windows and injur-
ing themselves, etc.

After the ignition has been switched off:
You can still operate the electric power
windows for up to 15 minutes, as long
as no one opens either of the front
doors.

With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher
> Press the switch until you feel resis-

tance: the window retracts as long as
you maintain pressure on the switch

> Press the switch briefly past the pres-

sure point: the windows move auto-
matically. Pressing the switch again
stops the opening cycle.

You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.

If your vehicle is equipped with optional
electric power windows in the rear*
separate switches will be located below
the windows.

For convenience operation via the door
lock, refer to page

Safety feature

The front windows are each equipped
with contact strips located in the upper
window frames. If pressure is exerted
against this contact strip while a win-
dow is being raised, the system will
respond by stopping the window and
then retracting it a small distance.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that

the closing path of the window is not
obstructed. Some types of objects
might fail to trigger the contact strip in
some situations – very thin objects, for
instance.
You can override this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.
