DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND
OPERATION
POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
The power window switch has a waterproofing
structure which prevents water (such as rain drops)
from entering from above. Should water enter, it is
drained through the hole located on the lower area of
the switch, and no water may be accumulated.
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
The power window switch has a push-pull operation
method to enhance safety. To close a door window
glass, press in the switch knob; and to open, pull it up.
The one-touch opening/closing mechanism in the
driver's power window switch will fully open or close
driver’s door window glass in a single operation.
SAFETY MECHANISM <Driver's door only>
The power window with the safety mechanism has
been adopted to enhance safety. If any obstacle
such as a hand or a head is detected to be pinched
during a door window glass closing operation, the
door window glass is opened by approximately 150
mm (6.0 inches). The safety mechanism is activated
when the power window switch is operated by one-
touch closing operation (the status when the hand
is released from the switch knob after one-touch
closing operation).
To prevent anyone from intruding into the vehicle,
by performing the manual-closing operation of the
power window switch, or by continuing the one-
touch closing operation (keep pulling up the switch
knob), the door window glass can be forcibly closed
without safety mechanism activation even when the
obstacle is detected to be pinched.
When the power window switch manual-closing or
one-touch closing operation is performed
accidentally, and an obstacle is detected, the power
window switch manual-closing and one-touch
closing operations are prohibited for 3 seconds after
the obstacle has been detected to be pinched, and
activates the safety mechanism.

Even after the ignition is switched off, the ETACS-
ECU keeps the power window relay activated for
approximately 30 seconds, enabling raising or
lowering of the power windows by using the power
window switches. After approximately 30 seconds,
the power window relay is deactivated.
During this timed operation, if the driver’s or
passenger’s doors are opened, the power window
relay is deactivated from that moment.
POWER WINDOW LOCK SWITCH
The driver’s power window switch is equipped with the
lock switch. This switch disables the opening/closing
operation of the door window glass using each
passenger's power window switch and rear power
window switch.
