If the 12-volt vehicle battery has been disconnected or discharged when the windows were not fully closed, the one-

touch opening and closing function does not work and must be reactivated:

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Close all windows and doors.

3. Pull and hold the button for the respective window for several seconds.

4. Release the button.

5. Pull and hold the button again.

The one-touch opening and closing function is now ready for operation again.

time.

be activated again if the closing operation takes longer than a few seconds.

The window will then stop if movement is again stiff or if there is an obstacle and opens automatically again.
