2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. Press the rear window glass control switch vent button six times.
4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
5. Press the rear window glass control switch vent button six more times.
6. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. At this point the rear window glass will move up and down approximately 20 mm (0.8 in). This movement signifies that the rear window glass motor has entered into the initialization mode.
7. Hold the rear window glass control switch in the full up position until the rear window glass stops in the full up position.

NOTE: The rear window glass control switch must be held in the up or down position until the window glass stops moving. Failure to hold the switch will end the initialization operation. Then initialization will have to be re-started.

8. Hold the rear window glass control switch in the full down position until the rear window glass stops in the full down position.

NOTE: If a repair is to be carried out on the rear window glass release the rear window glass control switch when it reaches the desired position. This will end the initialization operation.
