The electrically operated windows are controlled by switches in the cent\

windows to function. The window is lowered if the rear part of the switc\
h is pressed and raised if the

by pressing the rear part
of the switch lightly and releasing it immediately. The window can be st\
opped by pressing the button
again. If the button is held down, the window will be lowered until the \
button is released.
The power window motors have an overload protecting circuit breaker whic\
h is activated when an object
blocks a window. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 second\
s for the circuit breaker to
reset. The power windows should then function.
