If the control button is pressed again, the window will stop in the
desired position. If the button is held down for several seconds, the
window raises or lowers automatically (only with ignition key in MAR
position).

Lift the buttons to close the desired window.
The window closing stage occurs following the same logics described
for the opening stage.
Passenger side door
The passenger side door is equipped with a button that controls the
opening/closing of the passenger side window.
Continuous automatic operation
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is activated by pressing one of the two buttons for longer than half
a second. The window will stop when it is fully opened or closed, or
when the button is pressed again:
❒Driver side:raising/lowering.
❒Passenger side:only lowering.

passenger side.
Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car’s anti-crush function is active as the windows are being raised.This safety system detects the presence of an obstacle during the
window closing travel and intervenes by stopping and reversing the
window travel, depending on its position. This device is also useful
if the windows are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-crush safety function is active both during the manual and
the automatic operation of the window. When the anti-crush system is
activated, the window travel is immediately interrupted and then
reversed. The window cannot be operated in any way during this time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection intervenes 5 consecutive times
within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation of the
window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a second with the
button released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
In order to restore the correct operation of the system, the relevant
window must be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the electric
windows remain active for about 3 minutes and are deactivated when
a door is opened.
IMPORTANT With the anti-crush system, when the
button on the
remote control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will
open, whilst if the
button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds
the windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard concerning
the safety of passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
