Q: How do I use my power windows?

How do I use my power windows?

There are many control switches to adjust the powered windows on your vehicle. On the driver’s side door, you’ll find switches to control all windows on your vehicle. If you need to adjust windows while in a passenger’s seat, you’ll find a switch located on each passenger door that will control the corresponding window. To lower windows, push the switch down. To raise windows, pull the switch up.

Tip

Power windows will only work when your vehicle’s ignition is set to either “on” or “accessory.”

my car is slow to accelerate. i have a p0171 code. i replaced my o2 sensor but the code came back on. what else could it be?
The code P0171 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0171-obd-ii-trouble-code-system-too-lean-bank-1-by-andrew-quinn) is a lean code indicating the O2 sensor is detecting the engine is running lean – that is, the air/fuel mixture is imbalanced. You may have a clogged fuel filter (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-filter) or a fuel pump (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-pump)...
it screams when I push the gas petal to accelerate the rpm rev high causing it to act like its losing power going up hill
This sounds like the transmission is slipping. I recommend having a transmission mechanic diagnose the slipping by checking transmission pressures, checking for trouble codes (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/what-is-the-on-board-diagnostics-obd-system), or checking for any solenoids that are not letting it shift.
