POWER WINDOWS

When closing the power
windows, you should verify

they are free of obstructions and
ensure that children and/or pets
are not in the proximity of the
window openings.

Press and hold the bottom part of the rocker switch to open the window.
Press and hold the top part of the rocker switch to close the window.

One touch down

Allows the driver’s window to open
fully without holding the control
down. Press completely down on
AUTO and release quickly. Press
again to stop.

Accessory delay

With accessory delay, the window switches, radio, and the convertible
top motor, may be used for up to ten minutes after the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position or until either front door is opened.

Short drop glass

In order to improve door efforts and sealing, your vehicle is equipped
with short drop glass. This feature lowers the glass when either door is
opened. The glass returns to its closed position when the door is closed.
If the optional removable top is not installed on your vehicle, this feature
will also lower the glass when the convertible top switch is operated. The
glass will return to its closed position if the transmission is shifted out of
P (Park), or if the opposite door becomes closed.

Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated. Though your windows will have been calibrated before
your vehicle is delivered to you, it is possible for the windows to
lose calibration. If a window loses its calibration, your short drop
feature will lower the window, but will not raise it again when the door is

closed. To re-calibrate the window, press the up switch to raise the
window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for 2
seconds. Another possible effect of lost calibration is that the feature
may not lower the window. To re-calibrate the window in this case, lower
the window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for 2
seconds. Immediately after releasing the window down switch, press the
up switch to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold the
switch down for 2 seconds.
