Power Windows System Description

Basic Control/Function 

Auto Reverse Power Window Function 

When an object is detected during the auto up operation, the window stops closing and reverses about 70 mm (2.76 in). If the window is less than halfway opened (about 220 mm (8.66 in)), it will reverse to the half open position (about 220 mm (8.66 in)). In manual operation, this function is active only during the vehicle OFF operation. This function is activated based on the calculation of the rotation speed and load change of the motor's pulse A.

Vehicle OFF Operation 

For about 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode, the window's open/close operation with the power window switches is available.
