POWER WINDOWS
Versions with 2 front power windows
are fitted with automatic window open-
ing/closing only on the driver’s side.
Versions with 4 power windows are fit-
ted with automatic window opening/
closing on all doors. For certain ver-
sions/markets the electric windows
may have a safety system with anti-
crushing gaskets that identify any ob-
stacles present when the window is clos-
ing. If this happens, the system imme-
diately interrupts and changes the di-
rection of the window movement.
This system is particularly useful when
children operate the windows inadver-
tently and make it possible to close/
open (where provided) the windows us-
ing the remote control when leaving the
car.
IMPORTANTIn the event the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute or in the event of a fail-
ure, the system will automatically enter
the “recovery” mode (self-protection).
This condition is pointed out by the fact
that, in the closing stroke, the windows
goes up in jerks.
The system complies
with the forthcoming
Standard 2000/4/ EC
concerning the safety of pas-
sengers leaning out of the pas-
senger compartment.
