After the ignition has been switched off:
> You can still operate the windows as
long as neither of the front doors has
been opened. To open the window,
press the switch beyond the resis-
tance point.
Remove the key from the ignition
when you leave the vehicle, so
that children cannot operate the power
windows and possibly injure them-
selves.<
For the convenience mode via the door
lock or the remote control, refer to
pages 38 or 40.
Safety feature
A contact strip is integrated into the
inner side of each of the upper window
frame sections. If pressure is exerted
against this contact strip while a
window is being raised, the system
will respond by stopping the window
and then retracting it a small distance.
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the closing
path of the window is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Otherwise, an
object might not touch the contact strip
in some situations (very thin objects, for
instance).
You can override this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.
Because the power windows are sealed
at high pressure to prevent wind noise
when closed, a powerful motor is
required for efficient closing. When
closing the windows, always be sure
that they are not obstructed in any way.
Unsupervised use of these systems can
result in serious personal injury.
Remove the ignition key to deactivate
the electric power windows whenever
you leave the car. Never leave the keys
in the vehicle with unsupervised chil-
dren.
Never place anything that could
obstruct the driver's vision on or next
to the windows.<
