Electric windows

Press or pull the switch. The window stops as soon as the switch is released.

The electric window switches remain operational for approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off or until a front door is opened.

One-touch electric windows

There are two methods of operation:

- manual mode

Press or pull the switch gently. The window stops as soon as the switch is released.

- automatic mode

Press or pull the switch fully. The window opens or closes completely when the switch is released.

Pressing the switch again stops the movement of the window.

The electric window switches remain operational for approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off or until a front door is opened.

Safety anti-pinch

The one-touch front electric windows are fi tted with a safety anti-pinch function.

When the window rises and meets an obstacle, it stops and partially lowers again.

In the event of unwanted opening of the window on closing (for example in the presence of frost):

press the switch until it opens completely,
then pull it immediately until it closes,
continue to hold the switch for approximately one second after the window has closed.

The safety anti-pinch function is not active during these operations.

Deactivating the rear window and door switches

For the safety of your children, press switch 5 to prevent operation of the rear windows irrespective of their position.

With the lamp on, the rear controls are disarmed.

With the lamp off, the rear controls are activated.

This control also deactivates the interior rear door controls (see "Child safety - § Electronic child safety").

Reinitialisation

In the event of a malfunction you have to reinitialise the operation of the electric windows:

• release the switch and pull it again until the window closes completely,
• hold the switch for approximately one second after closing,
• press the switch to lower the window automatically.

The safety anti-pinch function is not active during these operations.

Always remove the key from the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

In the event of contact during operation of the windows, reverse the movement of the window. To do this, press the switch concerned.

When the driver operates the passenger electric window switches, they should ensure that no one is preventing correct closing of the windows.

The driver should ensure that passengers use the electric windows correctly.

Be aware of children when operating the windows.
