WINDOWS

DESCRIPTION

Door Windows
The front and rear electrically operated windows are opened and closed by using the appropriate non-latching switch mounted on the center console. Rear window switches (if fitted) are also located on the rear door trim casings. Rear window operation can be controlled by the driver by pressing the rear window inhibit switch, which is also mounted on the center console.

The window lift system is controlled by the window lift ECU, which is located beneath the center console, and will only operate when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position.

NOTE: When the ignition is switched off, the windows will still operate for approximately 40 seconds. This time out sequence will cease as soon as any of the doors are opened. This feature is not active on the tail door window.

Tail Door Window
The tail door window is opened and closed by using the non-latching switch mounted on the center console, below the radio/cassette player. Tail door window operation is controlled by the Central Control Unit (CCU), and will only operate when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position.

NOTE: The 40 second time out function (see above) does not operate on the tail door window. Tail door window operation will cease as soon as the ignition is switched off.

The tail door window can also be lowered using the remote handset. Pressing and holding the unlock button for approximately 2 seconds will inform the CCU to fully lower the tail door window. The tail door window can be raised by inserting the key in the tail door lock and turning it clockwise.

NOTE: If the key is released before the tail door window has reached the top of its travel, the CCU will lower the window back to the fully open position.

When the tail door handle is operated, a switch in the door handle informs the CCU to delay opening the door and to lower the window approximately 17 mm. This prevents the tail door from being opened with the window still engaged in the seal recess. When the tail door is closed, the CCU lifts the window to engage with the seal recess.

NOTE: When the tail door is open, the tail door window can only be lowered. The window will only raise once the tail door is closed.
