Windows: Description and Operation

GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMS

Window, One-Touch Up/Down
The window one-touch up/down feature is activated by pulling/pressing the window control switch to the up/down position (second detent). This allows the front door window glass to move upward/downward until it is fully closed/open. Pulling/pressing the window control switch (to the first detent) while the window glass is moving upward or downward stops the front door window glass. The "bounce-back" feature is incorporated into the one-touch up/down feature. Bounce-back occurs if the window motor detects an obstruction/debris in the window channel. It also occurs if a door window motor initialization is not carried out after repairs or lubrication is carried out on the door window glass.

Window, Short Drop
The window motors monitor the door ajar switches. When the window motor senses a door being opened the window motor opens the window slightly to clear the grooved channel weatherstrip. After the door is closed, the window motor senses the closed door (by monitoring the door ajar switch) and the window motor fully closes and seats the window glass into the grooved channel weatherstrip.

Window, Global Open/Close
The SJB sends a defined pulse signal on the global open/close circuit to all window motors to open or close all the windows based on a signal received from the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter or door key cylinder.

Window Glass, Door
The bottom of the door window glass is mounted in 2 window glass clamps which are part of the front door window regulator. Door window glass bolts and spacers provide attachment points for the door window glass and prevent direct contact between the door window glass bolts and the door window glass.

Window Glass, Quarter
The rear quarter window glasses are non-mobile and are set in urethane.

Window Glass, Rear
The rear window is mounted in urethane and contains the heated rear window grid (if equipped).
