Break-resistant security glass  
The glass installed on all side windows  
and the rear window is designed to of-  
fer resistance to breakage and vandal-  
ism. Each break-resistant window con-  
tains several layers of clear synthetic  
plastic film sandwiched between the in-  
ner and outer glass panes. In addition,  
another film is applied to the inner sur-  
face of the glass (facing the passenger  
compartment). This film prevents the  
glass, if shattered, from spreading into  
the passenger compartment.  
4 Do not apply window tint film to the  
inner window surface  
5 If frost or ice builds up on the inner  
surface in cold, high-humidity cli-  
mates, do not use a scraper or an  
"ice-removing spray." Start the en-  
gine and refer to the instructions on  
defrosting the door windows.  
Safety switch  
Please note the following precautions  
regarding this inner glass surface film:  
You can use the safety switch (arrow) to  
deactivate the rear window switches  
(when children are riding in the rear  
seats, for instance).  
1 The film is not scratch-resistant.  
Avoid contact with sharp objects  
which may break through or cut the  
film  
Press the safety switch whenever  
children are riding in the rear of  
the vehicle. Careless use of the power  
windows can lead to injury.<  
2 Clean the glass with water. If ineffec-  
tive, you may use regular household  
window cleaner; wipe the cleaner off  
immediately.  
Do not use window cleaners contain-  
ing solvents or abrasives, as these  
may scratch the film
