Nissan Maxima Owners Manual: Windows

Power windows

WARNING

• Make sure that all passengers have their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in motion and before closing the windows. Use the window lock switch to prevent unexpected use of the power windows.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and or its systems, including entrapment in windows or inadvertent door lock activation, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

The power windows operate when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, or for a period of time after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. If the driver's or passenger's door is opened during this period of time, the power to the windows is canceled.

Auto-reverse function

If the control unit detects something caught in an automatic operation window as it is closing, the window will be immediately lowered.

The auto-reverse function may be activated when the window is closed by automatic operation when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position or for a period of time after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.

Depending on the environment or driving conditions, the auto-reverse function may be activated if an impact or load similar to something being caught in the window occurs.

WARNING

There are some small distances immediately before the closed position which cannot be detected. Make sure that all passengers have their hands, etc., inside the vehicle before closing the window.

If the windows do not close automatically

If the power window automatic function (closing only) does not operate properly, perform the following procedure to initialize the power window system.

1. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.

2. Close the door.

3. Open the window more than halfway by operating the power window switch.

4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then hold the switch for more than 3 seconds after the window is closed completely.

5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by automatic function to confirm the initialization is complete.

If the power window automatic function does not operate properly after performing the above procedure, have your vehicle checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
