Opening and closing CONTROLS
37
After switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, the windows
can still be operated for approx. 1 minute as
long as no door is opened.
Take the key with you when you leave the
car; otherwise, children could operate the
electric windows and possibly injure them-
selves.<
Pinch protection system
If the closing force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will stop
moving the window prior to lowering it again
slightly.
Even though there is the pinch protection
system, always make sure that the win-
dow's travel path is clear; otherwise, the safety
system might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as thin objects, and the win-
dow would continue closing.
Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired.<
Closing without pinch protection
To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the window and make sure that
the closing area is unobstructed.<
If there is an external danger, or if ice on the win-
dows, etc., prevents you from closing the win-
dows normally, the window can be closed man-
ually.
1. Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there.
Pinch protection is limited and the window
reopens slightly if the closing force exceeds
a certain value.
2. Pull the switch again past the resistance
point within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there.
The window closes without pinch protec-
tion.

for example.
Press the button.
The LED lights up when this safety feature is acti-
vated.
Always press the safety switch when chil-
dren ride in the rear, otherwise uncon-
trolled closing of the windows could lead to inju-
ries.<
