General
The tail door window is opened and closed by using the non-latching switch mounted on the rear of the center console. Tail door window operation is controlled by the Central Control Unit (CCU), and will only operate when the 'ignition' switch is in the 'ignition' position.
Note. The 40 second time out function (see above) does not operate on the tail door window. Tail door window operation will cease as soon as the ignition is switched off.
The tail door window can also be lowered using the remote handset. Pressing and holding the unlock button for approximately 2 seconds will inform the CCU to fully lower the tail door window. The tail door window can be raised by inserting the key in the tail door lock and turning it clockwise.
Note. If the key is released before the tail door window has reached the top of its travel, the CCU will lower the window back to the fully open position.
When the tail door handle is operated, a switch in the door handle informs the CCU to delay opening the door and to lower the window approximately 17 mm. This prevents the tail door from being opened with the window still engaged in the seal recess. When the tail door is closed, the CCU lifts the window to engage with the seal recess.
Note. When the tail door is open, the tail door window can only be lowered. The window will only raise once the tail door is closed.
If the rear wiper is operational, the tail door window will not lower until the wiper is on a downward stroke. When the window is in the lowered position, wiper operation will be suspended. On 3 door vehicles, the tail door window will be disabled if any of the following occur
- The soft back is lowered.
- The soft back is removed.
- The hard back is removed.
