POWER WINDOWS
Power windows are fitted with anti-crush-
ing safety device to detect the presence of
an obstacle in the window closing stroke.
If an obstacle is detected, the safety sys-
tem will stop window closing and will re-
verse window stroke.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
to MAR.If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation automat-
ically. In the event of failure make refer-
ence to section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key to
STOPor removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 2 minutes and
are deactivated immediately the moment
a door is opened.CONTROLS
