Anti-trap mechanism
General
If the closing force exceeds a certain value when
a window is closing, the closing operation is in‐
terrupted.
The window is opened slightly.
Safety note
WARNING
Accessories on the windows, for example aer‐
ials, can impair the anti-trap mechanism. There
is a danger of injury. Do not attach any acces‐
sories in the area of movement of the windows.
Closing without the anti-trap
mechanism
If an external danger or ice does not allow you to
close the windows normally, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the switch past the resistance point
and hold it there.
The window is closed with a restricted anti-
trap mechanism. If the closing force exceeds
a certain value, the closing operation is inter‐
rupted.
2. Pull the switch past the resistance point
again within approximately 4 seconds and
hold it there.
The window is closed without the anti-trap
mechanism.
Safety switch
Principle
The safety switch can be used to prevent chil‐
dren from opening and closing the rear windows
by means of the switches in the rear, for exam‐
ple.
