KNOWING YOUR CAR
The electric windows are fitted with a
security system (where provided) 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.
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.
