GENERAL DESCRIPTION

OPERATION

.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM
The central door locking system operates the door 
lock actuator to lock or unlock the doors using the 
door lock switch built into the front power window 
(main or sub) switch or key cylinder built into the 
driver's side door outside handle. The system has 
the following operations and features:

• All doors can be locked using the door lock 

switch built into the front power window (main or 
sub <RH>) switch.

• Insert the key into the driver's key cylinder and 

turn once to the unlock side to unlock the driver's 
door. Turn the key once again to the unlock side 
to unlock all doors.

• The key reminder function automatically unlocks 

all doors when door lock operation is performed 
and the front doors are opened while the key is 
inserted into the ignition switch.

.

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

• A power window lock switch on the power win-

dow main switch prevents the door window glass 
from opening/closing with the front passenger's 
and rear power window sub switch.

• 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 switch that will automatically 
open the driver's side door window only.
