> You can still operate the power win-
dows as long as neither of the front
doors has been opened. To open a

resistance point.

key and close the doors when you

possibly injure themselves.<

Safety feature
A contact strip is located on the inside
upper frame of each of the windows. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while a window is being raised, the
system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it a small
distance.
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that
the closing path of the window is not
obstructed. Otherwise, an object might
not touch the contact strip in some situ-
ations (very thin objects, for instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the pres-
sure point and holding it.
Because the power windows are sealed
at high pressure to prevent wind noise
when closed, a powerful motor is re-
quired for efficient closing. When clos-
ing the windows, always be sure that
they are not obstructed in any way. Un-
supervised use of these systems can
result in serious personal injury. Re-
move the ignition key to deactivate the
electric power windows whenever you
leave the car. Never leave the keys in
the car with unsupervised children.
Never place anything that could ob-
struct the driver's vision on or next to
the windows.<
