Anti-pinch safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the upwards motion of the windows.
This safety system is capable of recognizing the presence
of an obstacle whilst the window is closing; when this hap-
pens, the system stops the travel of the glass and, de-
pending on the position of the window, reverses its move-
ment.
This device is also useful when the windows are activat-
ed accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window trav-
el is immediately interrupted and subsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached. During this time
the window cannot be operated in any way.
IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
times consecutively within 1 minute or a system failure
is detected, the automatic window closing function is in-
hibited. The window can then only be operated in steps of
half a second and the button must be released following
each step.
One of the following manoeuvres must be carried out in
order to restore correct operation:
❍ switch off and restart the engine;
❍ fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated the moment a door is opened.
