Windows: Description and Operation

Glass, Frames and Mechanisms
The vehicle has a fully bonded, laminated windshield glass bonded directly to the body. The windshield glass is available in two versions with a bright or black aluminium finisher. The two windshield glass options are:
- heated wiper park.
- fully heated.

The heated windshield glass is controlled by the dual automatic temperature control module when the ignition is in the RUN position and the heated windshield glass switch has been activated. Four minutes after activation, the heated windshield glass will automatically switch off. The function is also deactivated if the switch is operated before the defrost cycle has elapsed.

The rear window glass is available in two versions with a bright or black aluminium finisher. The two rear window glass options are:
- AM/FM
- AM/FM, TV and VICS

The rear window is a fully bonded toughened glass that combines the rear defrost grid, antenna for the audio unit, TV and VICS. The heated rear window is controlled by the dual automatic temperature control when the rear window defrost button is depressed. When the switch is depressed an indicator in the switch will illuminate indicating that the system is operative. Ten minutes after activation, the heated rear window will automatically deactivate. The function is also deactivated if the customer operates the switch again, before the defrost cycle has elapsed.

The front and rear door windows are electrically operated. All door windows can be operated individually, or by the driver window control switch. The operation of the windows is proportional to the switch activation. The windows can be controlled by 'one touch' operation of the switch in the downwards direction. An anti-trap system is fitted to the front and rear door window mechanisms as standard. If a door window is activated in the upwards direction an anti-trap sensor is automatically checked prior to the window closing. If the anti-trap sensor is inoperative the window will not close. When the anti-trap sensor detects an obstacle in the door window path the upward travel of the door window will automatically cease and downward travel of the door window will begin.

NOTE: If the battery has been disconnected the 'one touch' function will not operate until the system has been initialized.
