Toyota Prius: Opening, closing the windows

Power windows

Opening and closing the power windows

The power windows in your 2024 Toyota Prius can be operated using the window switches located on the door panels. To open a window, press the switch in the appropriate direction: up to close and down to open. Each window typically has its own switch, allowing individual control for all passengers. This convenience feature allows for quick and effortless adjustment of window positions to regulate airflow and maintain comfort inside the vehicle. Always ensure that passengers are aware of and able to operate the window switches for their respective seats to enhance convenience and safety while driving or when parked.

Operating the switch moves the side windows as follows:

1. Closing
2. One-touch closing*
3. Opening
4. One-touch opening*

*: To stop the side window partway, operate the switch in the opposite direction.

The power windows can be operated when

The power switch is in ON.

Operating the power windows after turning the hybrid system off

The power windows can be operated for approximately 45 seconds even after the power switch is turned to ACC or OFF. They cannot, however, be operated once either front door is opened.

Jam protection function

If an object becomes jammed between the side window and the window frame while the side window is closing, side window movement is stopped and the side window is opened slightly.

Catch protection function

If an object becomes caught between the door and side window while the side window is opening, side window movement is stopped.

When the power window cannot be opened or closed

If the jam protection or catch protection functions unexpectedly prevent the side window from operating properly, follow these steps using the power window switch on that particular door.

• Stop the vehicle. With the power switch in ON, within 4 seconds of the jam protection function or catch protection function activating, continuously operate the power window switch in the onetouch closing direction or onetouch opening direction so that the side window can be opened and closed.
• If the side window cannot be opened and closed even when performing the above operations, perform the following procedure for function initialization.

1. Turn the power switch to ON.
2. Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction and completely close the side window.
3. Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pulling the switch in the onetouch closing direction, and hold it there for approximately 6 seconds or more.
4. Press and hold the power window switch in the one-touch opening direction. After the side window is completely opened, continue holding the switch for an additional 1 second or more.
5. Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pushing the switch in the onetouch opening direction, and hold it there for approximately 4 seconds or more.
6. Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction again. After the side window is completely closed, continue holding the switch for a further 1 second or more.

If you release the switch while the side window is moving, start again from the beginning.

If the side window reverses and cannot be fully closed or opened, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
