Problems with the side windows

G WARNING

If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side window

closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing function is then not active. Parts of the

body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury or

even fatal injury.

Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process, release

the switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window.
