The driver's and passenger's power window switches are located on the center console switchbank.

See Center Console Switchbank for more information on location.

When you open a door, the window will automatically lower about a half inch. When the door is closed, the window will then close. If you wish to re-open the window once it's closed, press and hold the bottom of the power window switch to lower the window. Press and hold the top of the switch with the up arrow to raise the window.

The ignition must be in ACCESSORY or RUN or in Retained Accessory Power (RAP) mode for the window switches to work. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) .

Express-Down Window

Both the driver's and passenger's power window switches have the express-down feature. This feature allows you to completely lower the window without having to continuously hold the window switch.

To operate this feature, press the power window switch briefly to initialize the operation. You will need to acclimate yourself with the actual amount of effort and time needed to operate this feature. The amount of time required to initialize the express-down feature is less than what is found in many vehicles.

To stop the express-down feature from lowering the window completely, briefly press the switch again.

To close the window, press and hold the part of the switch with the up arrow.

Programming the Power Windows

If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged, disconnected, or is not working properly, you will need to reprogram the power windows for them to work properly. Before reprogramming, you will need to replace or recharge your vehicle's battery.

To program the windows, follow these steps:

  1. With the ignition in ACCESSORY or RUN, close the doors.
  2. Fully lower the windows using the driver's power window switches. Then raise the windows completely.
  3. The windows are now programmed.
