Automatic continuous operation ac-
tivatesby pressing control switches for
over half a second. The window will stop
when it is completely open or when press-
ing the button again.
Versions with 4 power windows (front
and rear) are fitted with anti-crushing safe-
ty device to detect the presence of an ob-
stacle in the window closing stroke. If an
obstacle is detected, the safety system will
stop window closing and, according to
window position, will also reverse 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.
The system conforms to the
forthcoming standard
2000/4/EC concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the pas-
senger compartment.

activated immediately the moment a door
is opened.IMPORTANT On certain versions, press-
ing the remote control button
