Safety mechanism (driver’s door win-
dow only) E00302500609
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or

hand out of the window when closing the driv-
er’s door window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If
the safety mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated
while the switch is pulled up. Therefore
be especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the driver’s door window to be subjec-
ted to a physical shock similar to that caused
by a trapped hand or head. l
If
the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate the driver’s door window in the nor-
mal fashion. Locking and unlocking
