Note
The window lift mechanism is equipped with protection against overheating.
Repeated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection has cooled down.
Power window force limiter
The electrical power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window being moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force! If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
