Safety mechanism
E00302500218
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window, it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head or hand out of the window when closing a window.The lowered window will become
operational after a few sec-
onds.
NOTE●
The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the door windows to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.
●
If the safety mechanism is ac
tivated three or more times in
a row, the safety mechanism will be cancelled and the door window will not close correctly.In such a case, the following
procedure should be imple-
mented to rectify this situation. If the window is open, repeatedly raise the appropri
ate window switch until that
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.
WARNING

If the safety mechanism is activated three or more times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem- porarily cancelled.If a hand or head got trap
ped, a serious injury could
result.CAUTION
!●
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.
