Electric windows
The driver uses the controls located on the door to operate the vehicle’s electric windows.
Note: the electric windows can also be operated for a limited time after the ignition has been switched off (including after the front doors have been opened).
Anti-pinch device
An anti-pinch device stops the window from rising. If it meets an obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or in the event of a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function:
- Lower the window fully using the control, then close. It will rise only a few centimetres.
- Press repeatedly on the control until the window is fully closed.
Warning: During this operation, the anti-pinch protection does not work.
