For manual control, press down or pull up the front portion of the switch to the first detent position (5). Hold the
switch until the window reaches your desired height, then release it to stop.
For one-touch operation, pull up or press the power window switch momentarily to the second detent position (6). The
window will move automatically to its fully opened or closed position, even if you release the switch. To halt the
window at any specific point during this automatic cycle, simply tap the switch in the opposite direction or
press/pull it briefly.
If a window stops responding or the auto-up/down feature becomes inconsistent, the Kia Carnival
window system can be easily recalibrated:
-
Switch the ignition to the ON position (ENGINE START/STOP button).
-
Fully close the affected window. Once closed, continue to pull and hold the power window switch in the "up"
position for at least 1 second to store the new limit.
The Kia Carnival is equipped with an anti-pinch safety system. If the upward travel of the glass is
obstructed by an object or a passenger's body part, the system detects the resistance and halts movement immediately.
The window will then automatically lower by approximately 11.8 inches (30 cm) to allow for safe clearance of the
obstruction.
If the window detects resistance while the switch is being held continuously in the "pull up" position, it will stop
and retract by roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Note: For your safety, if the automatic reversal is triggered, avoid pulling the switch up again within 5
seconds, as the system may temporarily disable the reversal feature for that cycle.
NOTICE
The automatic reversal feature is designed to activate only when the "Auto Up" function is used by fully engaging the
second detent of the switch. It will not be active if you manually hold the switch in the intermediate position.
WARNING
Always verify that the window path is clear before initiating closure to prevent injury or damage. Be aware that the
sensor may not detect very thin objects (less than 0.16 inches or 4 mm in diameter), so exercise constant vigilance
in your Kia Carnival.
WARNING
The automatic reversal system is disabled during the manual reset procedure. Ensure that no fingers or objects are in
the window frame while resetting the power window system in your Kia Carnival.
CAUTION
Avoid installing aftermarket window trim, rain guards, or other accessories that protrude into the window glass
channel. These modifications can create excessive friction or block the path, rendering the automatic reversal
feature ineffective and potentially causing motor damage.
