Safety feature
A contact strip is integrated into each of 
the upper window frame sections. If 
pressure is exerted against this contact 
strip while a window is being raised, the 
system will respond by stopping the 
window and then retracting it a small 
distance.
Despite this safety feature, be ex-
tremely careful that the closing 
path of the window is not obstructed 
whenever it is closed. Otherwise, an 
object might not touch the contact strip 
in some situations (with very thin ob-
jects, for instance). You can override 
this safety feature by pressing the 
switch beyond the resistance point and 
holding it.
Because the power windows are sealed 
at high pressure to prevent wind noise 
when closed, a powerful motor is re-
quired for efficient closing. When clos-
ing the windows, always ensure that 
they are not obstructed in any way. Un-
supervised use of these systems can 
result in serious personal injury. Re-
move the ignition key to deactivate the 
electric power windows whenever you 
leave the car. Never leave the keys in 
the car with unsupervised children.
Never place anything that could ob-
struct the driver's vision on or next to 
the windows.
