Power Windows

GENERAL INFORMATION

POWER WINDOWS

When the power window (main or sub) switch is operated, door windows will open or close. This system has the following operations and features.

- There is a power window lock switch featured on the power window main switch to prevent the door window glass from opening/closing with the front passenger's and rear power window sub switches.
- The power window of the door window glass can be opened/closed for 30 seconds with the timer function after the ignition switch is turned OFF (The timer expires if the front door[ LH or RH] is opened when the timer is in operation).
- The power window main switch contains a one-touch down/up switch that will automatically open/close driver's side door window only.
- With the safety mechanism, the power window main switch detects the pinching of obstacle such as a hand or a head when the driver's door window glass is raised. Then, the mechanism lowers the driver's door window glass for approximately 150 mm (6.0 inches). The safety mechanism is activated when the power window main switch is operated by auto-closing operation (the status when the hand is released from the switch knob after auto-closing operation). The safety mechanism operates as follows.
- At the manual-closing operation or the continuous auto-closing operation (keep pulling up the switch knob) of the power window switch, the door window glass can be forcibly closed without safety mechanism activation even when the obstacle is detected to be pinched.
- To secure the safety when the power window switch manual-closing or auto-closing operation is performed accidentally during the safety mechanism activation, the power window switch manual-closing and auto-closing operations are prohibited for 3 seconds after the activation of safety mechanism due to the obstacle pinching detection.

POWER WINDOW TIMER FUNCTION





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.
