Safety feature
A contact strip is integrated into the
inner side of each of the upper w indow
frame sections. If pressure is exerted
against this contact strip w hile a
w indow is being raised, the system w ill
respond by stopping the w indow and
then retracting it a sm all distance.
Despite this safety feature, be
extrem ely careful that the closing
path of the w indow is not obstructed
w henever it is closed. Otherw ise, an
object m ight not touch the contact strip
in som e situations (w ith very thin
objects, for instance).
You can override this safety feature by
pulling the sw itch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.
Because the pow er w indow s are sealed
at high pressure to prevent w ind noise
w hen closed, a pow erful m otor is
required for efficient closing. When
closing the w indow s, alw ays ensure
that they are not obstructed in any w ay.
Unsupervised use of these system s can
result in serious personal injury.
Rem ove the ignition key to deactivate
the electric pow er w indow s w henever

keys in the vehicle w ith unsupervised
children. Never place anything that
