Manual operation: To open or close the window, press or pull the switch without going past the resistance point. The window stops as soon as you release the switch.

Automatic operation: To open or close the window, press or pull the switch beyond the resistance point: the window opens or closes fully after you release the switch. A further press stops the window's movement.

The electric window switches remain operational for about one minute after the ignition key is removed.

After this time delay, no electric window action is possible.

To reactivate them, switch the ignition back on.

Anti-pinch

When the window is closing and meets an obstacle, it stops and immediately lowers partially.

If the window opens unintentionally while closing, press the switch until the window is fully open, then immediately pull the switch until the window closes. Keep holding the switch for about one second after the window has closed.

While this function activation procedure is being carried out, the anti-pinch function is not operational.

Deactivating the rear electric window switches

For the safety of your children, press switch 5 to deactivate the rear electric window switches, regardless of their position.

Button pressed in, the switches are deactivated. Button released, the switches are active.

Resetting the electric windows

After reconnecting the battery, you must reset the anti-pinch function: during these operations, the anti-pinch function is not operational.

  • Lower the window fully, then raise it; it will rise in steps of a few centimetres with each press. Repeat the operation until the window is fully closed,
  • keep the switch pressed for at least one second after reaching the position, window closed.

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

If a pinch occurs while operating the windows, you must reverse the movement of the window. To do so, press the relevant control.

When the driver operates the front passenger's electric window switches, the driver must make sure that no person is preventing the windows from closing correctly.

The driver must make sure that passengers use the electric windows correctly.

Take care with children when operating the windows.
