Force limiter of the power windows
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 42.
The force limiter of the power windows can reduce the risk of crush injury when
closing a window ⇒
. If the automatic closing operation of a window is impaired
by stiffness or by an obstruction, the window will immediately open again.
● Check why the window did not close.
● Try again to close the window.
● If, within 10 seconds since the first stopping and opening of the window, the
window is again prevented from closing by stiffness or by an obstruction, the au-
tomatic closing operation will be suspended for about 10 seconds.
● If the window still can not be closed by stiffness or by an obstruction, the win-
dow stops at the respective point. By pressing the button once again within
10 seconds, the window will close without any force limitation ⇒
Closing a window without force limitation
● Try to close again the window within approx. 10 seconds by pressing and hold-
ing the button. The force limiter will be disabled for a small functional range of
the closing operation!
● If the closing operation takes longer than approx. 10 seconds, the force limiter
will be active again. The window will then stop again when it encounters stiffness
or an obstruction.
● If the window still can not be closed, consult a specialist garage.
WARNING
Closing of the power windows without force limitation can cause serious inju-
ries.
● Always close power windows with caution.
● No one may be present within the functional range of the power windows,
especially when they are closed without force limitation.
● The force limiter does not prevent fingers and other body parts from being
pressed against the window frame and getting injured.
