direction and move down. This is known as “bounce-back”. If the ignition
is turned off (without accessory delay being active) during bounce-back,
the window will move down until the bounce-back position is reached.
Security Override
To override a bounce-back condition, within two seconds after the
window reaches the bounce-back position, pull and hold the switch up
and
the window will travel up with no bounce-back or pinch
protection.
If the switch is released before the window is fully closed,
the window will stop. For example, this can be used to overcome the
resistance of ice on the window or seals.
Window lock
The window lock feature allows only
the driver to operate the power
windows.
To lock out all the window controls
(except for the driver’s) press the
right side of the control. Press the
left side to restore the window
controls.
Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the radio, Family Entertainment DVD System (if
equipped), power windows, and moon roof (if equipped) operate for up
to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned from on to off or until
one of the front doors are opened.
INTERIOR MIRROR
The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from SIDE to SIDE.
WARNING:
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in
motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror
Your vehicle is equipped with an interior rear view mirror that has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal (high reflective) state to the non-glare (darkened) state
when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects
bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically adjust (darken)
to minimize glare.
