If the safety mechanism is activated three or more
times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem-
porarily cancelled.

ous injury can result.


The safety mechanism is deactivated while the
switch is pulled up continuously. Therefore be espe-
cially careful that hands or head are not trapped in
the door window opening.

door window closes. This allows the door window to
close completely. Therefore be especially careful that
fingers are not trapped in the door window opening.
