after the ignition switch is turned off. If the driver’s door is
opened during this period, the door window can be opened or
closed for another 30 seconds.

be operated.

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 a window.
The lowered window will become operational after a few sec-
onds.
WARNING
!●If the safety mechanism is activated three or more
times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem-
porarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious injury could
result.

window is fully closed. This allows the window to
close completely. Therefore be especially careful that
no fingers are trapped in the window.

ditions or other circumstances cause the door windows to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.

door window will not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure should be imple-
mented to rectify this situation. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the appropriate window switch until that
window has been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this con-
dition for at least one second, then release it. You should
