Opening and closing
CONTROLS
31
After switching off the ignition
The windows can still be operated for approx.
1 minute while the ignition is switched off 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.
<
Trap protection
If the closing force of a window exceeds
a specific value as it closes, the closing action is
interrupted and the window reopens slightly.
Despite the trap protection function,
make sure that the windows are not
obstructed as they close; if this precaution is not
taken, the risk remains that thin objects, for
instance, could fail to interrupt the closing
movement.
Do not install any accessories in the movement
range of the windows in order not to impair the
trap protection function.
<
Closing without the trap protection
function
In case of an external hazard, or if ice cover, for
example, does not allow you to close a window
normally, the window can be closed manually.
1. Push the switch upward and hold it there.
The trap protection function is restricted and
the window opens slightly when the closing
force exceeds a certain value.
2. Within approx. 4 seconds, push the switch
upward again and hold it there. The window
closes without the trap protection function.
Safety switch
This prevents the rear windows being opened
and closed using the switches in the rear seat
area, for instance by children.
Press the button indicated by the arrow.
The LED lights up when the safety function is
switched on.
Press the safety switch when carrying chil-
dren on the rear seat, otherwise careless
closing of the windows could result in injury.
