4.3.3. 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 or panoramic roof when it's closing, it will stop and then slightly reverse, allowing you to
remove what's in the way. The boot is covered by pinch protection in a similar way when opening or closing.
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 for the power windows, you can try to solve the issue by resetting them.
If pinch protection for the panoramic sun roof isn't working properly, contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
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 automatic window movement. Always reset it 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 functionality and re-enables the pinch protection function.
4.3.4. Resetting windows
If you're experiencing issues with a power-operated window, you may need to reset it. This allows the car to
recalibrate their position, restoring both pinch protection and automatic movement.
