INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS -> Power windows for Your Volvo V40 4 Door Second Generation (2012-2019)

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

||  
Power windows  
High-pressure headlamp washing*  
High-pressure headlamp washing consumes a  
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, the  
headlamps are washed automatically at every  
fifth windscreen wash cycle.  
All power windows can be operated using the  
control panel for the driver's door - the control  
panels for the other doors operate their respec-  
tive power window.  
NOTE  
The rear window wiper is equipped with over-  
heating protection which means that the  
motor is switched off if it overheats. The rear  
window wiper works again after a cooling  
period (30 seconds or longer, depending on  
the heat in the motor and the outside tem-  
perature).  
Reduced washing  
If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains in  
the reservoir and the message that you should fill  
the washer fluid is shown in the combined instru-  
ment panel, then the supply of washer fluid to the  
headlamps is switched off. This is in order to pri-  
oritise cleaning the windscreen and the visibility  
through it.  
Wiper – reversing  
Wiping and washing the rear window  
Engaging reverse gear while the windscreen wip-  
ers are on initiates intermittent rear window wip-  
ing25. The function stops when reverse gear is  
disengaged.  
Driver's door control panel.  
Electric child safety locks that prevent chil-  
dren from being able to open the rear doors  
from inside* and open/close the rear win-  
dows, see Child safety locks - electrical acti-  
vation* (p. 176).  
If the rear window wiper is already on at continu-  
ous speed, no change is made.  
NOTE  
On cars with rain sensors, the rear wiper is  
activated during reversing if the sensor is  
activated and it is raining.

* Option/accessory.  
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS  
Closing of the windows is stopped and the win-  
dow is opened if anything prevents its movement.  
It is possible to override the pinch protection  
when closing has been interrupted, e.g. if there is  
ice forming. After two successive closing inter-  
ruptions the pinch protection will be forced and  
the automatic function deactivated for a short  
while, now it is possible to close by continually  
holding the button pulled up.

not trapped when the windows are closed  
from the driver's door.  
WARNING  
Check that children or other passengers are  
not trapped if/when the windows are closed  
using the remote control key.  
NOTE  
One way to reduce the pulsating wind noise  
when the rear windows are open is to also  
open the front windows slightly.  
WARNING  
If there are children in the car - remember to  
always switch off the power supply to the  
power windows by selecting key position 0  
and then take the remote control key with you  
when leaving the car. For information on key  
positions - see Key positions - functions at  
different levels (p. 81).

Operating with auto  
Move one of the controls up/down gently. The  
power windows move up/down as long as the  
control is held in position.  
All power windows can be operated using the  
control panel for the driver's door - the control  
panels for the other doors can only operate their  
respective power window. Only one control panel  
can be operated at a time.  
Operating with auto  
Move one of the controls up/down to the end  
position and release it. The window runs auto-  
matically to its end position.  
In order for the power windows to be used, the  
key position must be at least I - see Key posi-  
tions - functions at different levels (p. 81). The  
power windows can be operated for a few  
minutes after the engine has been switched off  
and after the remote control key has been  
removed - although not after a door has been  
opened.  
Operating with the remote control key or  
central locking button  
To operate the power windows from the outside  
with the remote control key or from inside with  
the central locking button, see Remote control  
key - functions (p. 160) or Locking/unlocking -  
from the inside (p. 171).
