Electric power windows You can still operate the power windows for up to 15 minutes as long as no one has opened and again closed one of the doors. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the ignition key from the lock and remember to close the doors to prevent children from operating the power windows and injuring themselves, etc.< 39 Despite trap protection, always be careful to ensure that the closing path of the window is not obstructed. Some types of objects, for instance very thin objects, might fail to trigger the contact strip in some situations. If the switch is pulled and held beyond the resistance point, this trap protection is overridden.< To open and close windows With the ignition key in position 1 or higher > Press the switch until you feel resistance: the window retracts, or respectively the tilt-out window moves outward; it remains in motion for as long as you maintain pressure on the switch > Press the switch briefly past the pressure point: the window moves automatically. Pressing the switch again stops the opening cycle. You can close the window in the same manner by pulling the switch. The tiltout window does not close automatically. For convenience operation via the remote control or the door lock, refer to page 32 or 30. Trap protection The front windows are each equipped with a contact strip located on the upper inside of the window frame. If pressure is exerted against this contact strip while the window is being raised, the system will respond by stopping the window and then retracting it a small distance.
