Anti-trapping function
If the drive force while closing the window exceeds a certain value, the closing process stops immediately and the glass lowers slightly.
In any case, make sure there are no obstacles in the path of the windows, because in rare cases (for example, if a thin object is in the path of the glass) the anti-trapping function may not activate.
Foreign objects within the window travel range may interfere with the anti-trap function, so installing accessories in this area is prohibited.◄
Deactivating the Anti-Trap Function
If there is an external threat or if the window cannot be closed normally due to icing, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the switch past the detent point and hold it in this position. The anti-trap function is limited, meaning that if the window encounters an obstacle, it lowers only a few millimeters.
2. Within the next 4 seconds, pull the switch past the detent point again and hold it in this position. The window closes with the anti-trap function completely deactivated.
