WARNING:
If the link or door key lock and unlock switch is touched, the power window might start it's operating, causing unexpected injury to an operator. As the circuit of the key-linked up-and-down function of the power window is isolated, even if the connector of the power window master switch is disconnected the key-linked up-and-down function operates.
CAUTION:
When performing the service operation inside the front door on the driver's side, make sure to perform it with the battery terminal or connector of the power window motor disconnected.
