GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMSThe glass, frames and mechanisms consist of the following:
- Accessory delay relay
- Door window regulator motors
- Front door glass top run
- Front door window glass
- Rear door glass top run
- Rear door window glass
- Rear quarter glass

The power window system can be operated from the driver window control switch or from the window control switches located on each door panel. The driver window control switch has 2 modes of operation for the driver power window, manual and auto. All other windows operate in manual mode only.
Manual mode moves the window downward until the switch is released. Auto mode provides the one-touch down (OTD) feature for the driver front power window. The OTD function allows the driver front power window to be completely lowered when the driver window control switch is pressed momentarily and then released. OTD is controlled by the driver window control switch.
The power window system will only operate if:
- the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position.
- the accessory delay feature is in the active mode.
The heated rear window is controlled by the HVAC module. The ignition switch must be in RUN with the engine running for the heated rear window to operate. When the rear window defrost switch is pressed, the HVAC module activates the rear window defrost relay which supplies voltage to the heated rear window grid. A LED will illuminate when the heated rear window is activated.
