Force limiter
Read and observe
and on page 51 first.
Only version 2 of the power windows is equipped with the power limiter
(does not apply to the passenger window).
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes
down by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only not operational if you attempt to close the window
again within the next 10 seconds – the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING■ Variant 1 of the power window » Fig. 39 on page 51 has no force limiter.
The windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
The passenger window in variant 2 of the power window » Fig. 39 on
page 51 has no force limiter. The window should nevertheless be closed
carefully – risk of injury!
