window has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this con- dition for at least 1 second, then release it. You shouldnow be able to operate all windows in the normal fashion.

The safety mechanism is cancelled just before the window is fully closed. This allows the window toclose completely. Therefore
be especially careful that
no fingers are trapped in the window.
