to its target position. When the door is closed, it will move up until
it meets its upper limit.
If handle C is lifted without opening the door, the window will
move down to its target position and stop and if the door is not
opened after 2 seconds, the window will move back up until it
meets the upper limit. Therefore, to open the door, release handle
