ELECTRIC WINDOWSThey are fitted with a security system that can
detect the presence of an obstacle whilst the
window is closing; when this happens, the system
kicks in and the movement of the glass is
immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing
function is activated 5 times in only 1 minute, the
system will automatically enter the “recovery”
mode (self-protection). This condition is apparent
from the window closing in stages.
If this occurs, restore the system as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to the STOP position and
then to MAR-ON.
If no malfunction is present, the window returns to
its normal operation automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at STOP or
removed, the electric windows remain activated for
about two minutes and are deactivated as soon as
a door is opened.
WARNING
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment .
IMPORTANT On some versions, when the
button on the key with remote control is pressed
for longer than 2 seconds the windows will open,
