4.4.2. Pinch protection
To help prevent injuries from power-operated windows and other moving parts, your car has a built-in pinch
protection system. Occupants should also keep proper user practices in mind to reduce the risk of getting
caught between moving or closing parts.
If something is blocking the window when it is closing, the window will stop and then slightly reverse, allowing you to remove
what's in the way.
Warning
Always consider the safety risks while operating the windows. The car's moving parts can cause injury to children or
other occupants, as well as damage to objects.
Make sure you have a clear view of the windows you operate.
Do not allow children to play with the window controls.
Never leave children alone in the car.
Never put an object or body part through an open window, even if the car's electrical system is fully disconnected.
If the automatic closing of a window stops due to obstructions, such as ice, you can still try to close the window manually by
continuing to pull the control switch. However, always try to remove the source of the obstruction first and make sure nothing
is blocking the path of the window before trying to close it again.
If there is a problem with the pinch protection, you can try to solve the issue by resetting the windows.
Warning
The power window pinch protection may not work properly if the car loses track of the current window position. The
window positions are recalibrated when you reset the windows. Always reset them to make sure the window positions
are correctly calibrated if:
the car has lost power, for instance if the 12 V battery has been disconnected.
the automatic window movement does not work properly.
This restores the automatic window movement and re-enables the pinch protection function.
4.4.3. Resetting windows
If you're experiencing issues with the power-operated windows, you need to reset them. This allows the car
to recalibrate their position, restoring both pinch protection and automatic movement.
Important
The pinch protection system will not work properly until the window has been reset after losing calibration.
