while the window is closing, it will stop
the window’s movement and reverse it,
depending on its position.This device is also useful if the windows
are activated accidentally by children
inside the vehicle.
The anti-pinch safety function is
activated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.

the window closing is immediately
interrupted. Then the window closing is
automatically reversed and the window
lowers by about eight inches (20 cm) in
relation to the first stop position. The
window cannot be operated during this
time.
Note:

anti-pinch protection is activated three
consecutive times, the automatic closing
operation of the window will be
deactivated. In order to restore the
correct operation of the system, the
window must be lowered.
Power Window System Initialization
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
