Electric power windows
To open and close windows
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher
>
Press the switch until you feel resis-
tance: the window retracts, or
respectively the tilt-out window
moves outward; it remains in motion
for as long as you maintain pressure
on the switch
>
Press the switch briefly past the pres-
sure point: the window moves auto-
matically. Pressing the switch again
stops the opening cycle.
You can close the window in the same
manner by pulling the switch. The tilt-
out window does not close automati-
cally.
You can still operate the power win-
dows for up to 15 minutes as long as
no one has opened and again closed
one of the doors.
When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the ignition key from the
lock and remember to close the doors
to prevent children from operating the
power windows and injuring them-
selves, etc.

remote control or the door lock, refer to

Trap protection
The front windows are each equipped
with a contact strip located on the
upper inside of the window frame. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while the window is being raised,
the system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it a small
distance.
Despite trap protection, always be
careful to ensure that the closing
path of the window is not obstructed.
Some types of objects, for instance
very thin objects, might fail to trigger
the contact strip in some situations.
If the switch is pulled and held beyond
the resistance point, this trap protection
is overridden.
