resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm)

while the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window
will stop upward movement then
lower approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm).

pulled up continuously again within 5

feature, the automatic window rever-
sal will not operate.

pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway
position on the power window switch.

before raising any window to
avoid injuries or vehicle dam-
age. If an object less than 0.16
in. (4 mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
