Kia Stinger 2023 Windows And Hood System

The 2023 Kia Stinger is a great example of how form and function can work together in a way that looks good and works well. Its windows and hood play key roles in improving both its looks and its performance. This sporty beauty has windows that can be opened and closed with the touch of a button. It also has tinted windows, which give privacy and protect the driver and passengers from direct sunlight. The path of luxury and innovation continues with the hood, which is made of aluminum and is both light and strong. This helps the car use less gas and go faster. Even though the hood has a standard front-opening design, some trim levels may have functional hood scoops or vents. This shows that the Stinger is dedicated to better engine cooling and better aerodynamics. Both the windows and the hood of the Stinger are carefully made to fit in with its design philosophy. This makes sure that every ride in the 2023 Kia Stinger is a combination of style, comfort, and performance.

Windows

1.  Driver’s door power window switch
2. Front passenger’s door power window switch
3. Rear door (left) power window switch
4. Rear door (right) power window switch
5. Window opening and closing
6.  Automatic power window up/down (Driver’s and Passenger’s window)
7. Power window lock button0

In cold and wet climates, power windows may not work properly due to freezing conditions.

Power windows

The ENGINE START/STOP Button must be in the ON position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch that controls the door’s window. The driver has a power window lock button which can block the operation of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated for approximately 30 seconds after the ENGINE START/STOP button is set to the ACC or OFF position.
However, if the front doors are opened, the power windows cannot be operated even within the 30 seconds period.
The driver’s door has a master power window switch that controls all the windows in the vehicle.
If the window cannot be closed because it is blocked by objects, remove the objects and close the window.

NOTICE

While driving with the rear windows down or with the sunroof (if equipped) in an open (or partially open) position, your vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffet-ing or pulsation noise. This noise is a normal occurrence and can be reduced or eliminated by taking the following actions. If the noise occurs with one or both of the rear windows down, partially lower both front windows approximately one inch (2.5 cm). If you experience the noise with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the size of the sunroof opening.

CAUTION

Do not install any accessories in the vehicle that extend into the open window area. Such objects will impact the proper function of the Automatic rever sal “jam protection” feature described in this chapter.

Window opening and closing

To open or close a window, press down or pull up the front portion of the corresponding switch to the first detent position (5).

WARNING

Power Windows
Do not extend your face or arms outside of the window opening while the vehicle is in motion. Doing so could result in significant injury.

Auto up/down window (Driver`s and Front Passenger’s side)

Pressing or pulling up the power window switch momentarily to the second detent position (6) completely lowers or raises the window even when the switch is released. To stop the window at the desired position while the window is in operation, pull up or press down and release the switch.
If the power window does not operate normally, the automatic power window system must be reset as follows:

1. Press the ENGINE START/STOP But-ton twice to the ON position.
2.  Close the driver’s and front passenger’s window and continue pulling up the driver’s power window switch for at least 1 second after the window is completely closed.

Automatic reversal (for Auto up/down window)

 

If the upward movement of the window is blocked by an object or part of the body, the window will detect the resistance and will stop upward movement. The window will then lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm) to allow the object to be cleared.
The distance may vary based on the size or position of the window. If the window detects the resistance while the power window switch is pulled up continuously, the window will stop upward movement then lower approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm).
If the power window switch is pulled up continuously again within 5 seconds after the window is lowered by the automatic window reversal feature, the automatic window reversal will not operate.
The automatic reverse feature for the driver’s and front passenger’s window is only active when the “auto up” feature is used by fully pulling up the switch. The automatic reverse feature will not operate if the window is raised using the half-way position on the power window switch.

WARNING

Always check for obstructions before raising any window to avoid injuries or vehicle damage. If an object less than 0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter is caught between the window glass and the upper window channel, the automatic reverse window may not detect the resistance and will not stop and reverse direction.

WARNING

The automatic reverse feature doesn’t activate while resetting power window system. Make sure body parts or other objects are safely out of the way before closing the windows to avoid injuries or vehicle damage.

WARNING

Do not install any accessories in the vehicle that extend into the open window area. Such objects could prevent the automatic reverse feature from functioning.
