First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

The roll-back function for the electric windows can reduce the risk of injuries when the windows are closing . If the one-touch closing function for a window does not work because it is stiff or is being obstructed, the window will automatically open again.

  • Check to see why the window has not closed.
  • Try to close the window again.
  • If the window is not able to close twice within about 10 seconds because it is stiff or is being obstructed, automatic closing is switched off for approximately 10 seconds.
  • If the window is still obstructed, the window stops at this point. To close the window without the roll-back function, press the button again within 10 seconds .

Closing the window without the roll-back function

  • Try to close the window again within about 10 seconds by holding the button. The roll-back function is deactivated for a small function area of the closing path!
  • If the closing process takes longer than approximately 10 seconds, the roll-back function will be reactivated. The window will then stop again if it meets another obstacle.
  • Please go to a qualified workshop if the window still cannot be closed.
Closing the electric windows without the roll-back function could lead to severe injuries.
  • Always take care when closing electric windows.
  • Ensure that nobody obstructs the path of the electric windows, especially if the roll-back function is not active.
