❍fully lower the window concerned.

the windows are opened, whilst when button

Incorrect use of the electric windows may be dan-
gerous. Before operation, always check that no
passenger is at risk of being injured directly by the
moving window or by objects getting caught in or dragged
by the window. When leaving the car, always remove the
key from the ignition device to avoid the risk of injury due
to accidental operation of the electric windows.
