A safety system is provided that is able to
detect the present of an obstacle when the
window is closing. When this event oc-
curs, the system interrupts and immedi-
ately reverses the window travel.
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.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP
or removed, the power windows remain
activated for about 2 minutes and are de-
activated immediately the moment a door
is opened.
The system conforms to the
forthcoming standard 2000/
4/EC concerning the safety of pas-
sengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
IMPORTANT On some versions, when
button Ëon the key with remote control
is pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the
windows open, while when button Áis
pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the
windows are closed.
