IMPORTANT With the anti-crush system, when the button on the
remote control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will
open, whilst if the button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds
the windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard concerning
the safety of passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check
that no passenger is at risk of being injured directly
by the moving window or by objects getting caught in or
dragged by the window. When leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition to prevent accidental operation of the
electric windows from being a hazard for those still on board.

Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car’s anti-crush function is active as the windows are being raised.
This safety system detects the presence of an obstacle during the
window closing travel and intervenes by stopping and reversing the
window travel, depending on its position. This device is also useful
if the windows are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-crush safety function is active both during the manual and
the automatic operation of the window. When the anti-crush system is
activated, the window travel is immediately interrupted and then
reversed. The window cannot be operated in any way during this time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection intervenes 5 consecutive times
within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation of the
window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a second with the
button released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
In order to restore the correct operation of the system, the relevant
window must be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the electric
windows remain active for about 3 minutes and are deactivated when
a door is opened.
