OPERATION

.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM
The central door locking system operates the door 
lock actuator to lock or unlock the doors using the 
operation of the door lock switch built into the front 
power window (main or sub) switch or key cylinder 
built into the front door outside handles. 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) switch.

• All doors can be locked or unlocked using the 

front door (LH or RH) key cylinder key operation.

• You cannot lock an open door if the key is in the 

ignition switch. The key reminder function auto-
matically unlocks all doors when the door is 
locked.

.

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:

• When the power window main switch lock/unlock 

switch is locked, the door windows can only be 
opened or closed by the power window main 
switch on the driver's door.

• When all doors are closed and the ignition is 

turned off, the power windows can be operated 
for 30 seconds from the time the ignition is turned 
off.

• The power window main switch contains a 

one-touch down switch that will automatically fully 
open driver's side door window only.
