Standard front power window features include one-touch up/down operation when the master window control switch (or passenger door window control switch) is momentarily pressed to the second detent and released.

The master window control switch may be used to raise or lower all door windows. The individual door windows can also be operated from each of the corresponding door window control switches.

NOTE: A new window motor cannot operate in one-touch up mode (front), and the obstacle detection feature is disabled prior to initialization. If the switch is actuated to the auto UP position and released, window movement stops when the up contact in the window control switch is released. If the window motor is removed from the window regulator drum housing, or if a new window motor is installed, it must be initialized.

Refer to: Power Door Window Initialization .

If an obstacle is detected in the window opening as the window glass is moving upward, the window motor automatically reverses direction until the window glass is slightly below where the obstruction occurred and then stops moving. The window motors have a security override feature. Once the window motor stops the glass after an obstacle has been detected, and within 2 seconds the switch is released, then held in the auto UP position, the window motor moves the glass up with no obstacle detection (security override). Obstacle detection is reactivated the next time the window is operated upward.
