When opening or closing the windows, make
sure there is no danger of anyone being
harmed by the opening/closing procedure.
The door windows are equipped with the
express operation and automatic reversal

window encounters an obstruction that
blocks its path, the automatic reversal
function will stop the door window and open

the switch is pulled and held. See the "Closing

this chapter for details.
The closing of a door window can be
immediately halted by releasing the switch or,
