BEFORE DRIVING
79MS0-14E
NOTE:
If you drive with one of the rear windows
open, you may hear a loud sound caused
by air vibration. To reduce the sound, open
the driver’s or front passenger’s window, or
narrow the rear window opening.
Pinching Prevention Function
The driver’s window is equipped with the
pinching prevention function. The function
detects a foreign object caught in the win-
dow while being closed by the “auto-up”
feature, which you can close the window
without holding the window switch in the
“Up” position, and stops the window clos-
ing to prevent damage.
NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
auto-up feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in the “Up” posi-
tion.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window react
to vehicle jolting.
The Pinching Prevention Function Ini-
tialization
When you disconnect and re-connect the
battery or replace the fuse, the function will
be deactivated. In this condition, the auto-
down feature will be deactivated, while the
auto-up feature may remain being acti-
vated. The pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.
WARNING
• You should always lock the pas-
senger’s window operation when
there are children in the vehicle.
Children can be seriously injured if
they get part of their body caught
by the window during operation.
• To avoid injuring an occupant by
window entrapment, be sure no
part of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric windows when closing
them.
• Always remove the ignition key or
take the keyless push start system
remote controller with you when
leaving the vehicle even if only for
a short time. Also do not leave chil-
dren alone in a parked vehicle.
Unattended children could use the
electric window switches and get
trapped by the window.
WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, be sure no part of
the occupant’s body such as hands
or head is in the path of the electric
window when closing it.
The function may not detect the
object depending on size, hardness,
and position of the object caught by
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention function
does not act while you are holding
the window switch in the “Up”
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window just before the window
is fully closed.
