They work with the ignition device in the
RUN position and for about 10 minutes
after the ignition device has been turned
to the OFF position. When one of the
front doors is opened this operation is
disabled.
41)
“Auto-down” function
Push the window switch down, for a
short period of time, and release and the
window will go down automatically.
To open the window part way, push the
window switch down briefly and release
it when you want the window to stop.
To stop the window from going all the
way down during the AUTO-Down
operation, pull up on the switch briefly.
Anti-pinch safety device
This safety system can recognize the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this occurs,
the system stops the window's movement
and reverts it, depending on its position.
When the anti-pinch system is activated
the window travel is immediately
interrupted.
Then the window stroke is automatically
inverted.
NOTE Any impact due to rough road
conditions may trigger the auto reverse
function unexpectedly during auto-
closure. If this happens, pull the switch
lightly and hold to close the window
manually.
42)
Window Lockout Switch
The window lockout switch on the
driver's door trim panel allows you
to disable the window controls on the
rear passenger doors. To disable the
window controls, push and release the
button indicated in fig. 41, the LED on
the button with turn on. To enable the
window controls, push and release the
button again, the LED on the button goes
off.

WARNING
40) Incorrect use of the electric
windows may be dangerous. Before and
during their operation, ensure that any
passengers are not at risk from the
moving glass either by personal objects
getting caught in the mechanism or by
being hit by it directly. When leaving the
vehicle (equipped with mechanical key
with remote control), always remove the
key from the ignition device to prevent
accidental operation of the electric
windows from being a hazard for those
still on board.
41) Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob
in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children and do not leave
the ignition device of a vehicle equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go system in
the START or RUN mode. Occupants,
particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while
operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
