Safety Mechanism (Driver's Door Only)

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.
