The power window switches are located on the armrest near each window. Press the up or down arrows on the switches to raise or lower the windows.

Your vehicle has Retained Accessory Power (RAP) that allows you to use the power windows once the ignition has been turned off. For more information, see "Retained Accessory Power (RAP)" under Ignition Positions .

Express-Down Window

This feature is on all power windows. Press the down arrow on the switch to the second position to activate the express-down feature. If you want to stop the window as it is lowering, press the down arrow on the switch again.

Express-Up Window

This feature is on both front power windows. Press the up arrow on the switch to the second position to activate the express-up feature. If you want to stop the window as it is raising, press the up arrow on the switch again.

Programming the Power Windows

If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged, disconnected or is not working, you will need to reprogram each front power window for the express-up feature to work. Before reprogramming, you will need to replace or recharge your vehicle's battery.

To program each front window, follow these steps:

  1. With the ignition in ACC or ON, or when RAP is active, close all doors.
  2. Press and hold the down arrow on the power window switch until the window has fully opened.
  3. Press the up arrow on the power window switch until the window is fully closed.
  4. Continue holding the switch up for approximately two seconds after the window is completely closed.

The window is now programmed. Repeat the process for the other front window.

Anti-Pinch Feature

If a hand, an arm or another object is above the middle of the window and is in the path of the window when the express-up feature is active, the window will stop at the obstruction and express-open to a preset factory position.

Caution: Pressing and holding the power window control will turn off the anti-pinch feature. If this happens, a power window will not stop if something gets in the way. You or others could be injured, and your window could be damaged. Be careful not to press and hold the power window control.
