Electric windows 69 The switches on the centre console operate the following windows: 1.Right hand front window. 2.Left hand front window. 3.Right hand rear window. 4.Left hand rear window. 5.Switch to isolate rear door window switches (when carrying children). NOTE:Rear windows can also be operated by individual window switches mounted on each rear door, provided the isolation switch is not activated. Operating the windows The electric windows can be operated when the starter switch is in position I or II and for up to 45 seconds after the starter switch is turned off (provided neither front door is opened in the meantime). If a front door is opened, then a further 45 second period commences. NOTE:Only manual mode (not one-touch) is available for the 45 second period(s). Press and hold the lower part of a switch to lower and the upper part to raise the window. The window will stop moving as soon as the switch is released. WARNING Accidental closing of a window on fingers, hands or any vulnerable part of the body, can result in serious personal injury. Always observe the following precautions: ·ISOLATE the rear window switches when carrying children. ·ENSURE children are kept clear when raising or lowering a window. ·NEVER leave children alone in the vehicle. ·ENSURE that all adult passengers are fully familiar with the controls and the potential dangers of electrically-operated windows. ·ENSURE the anti-trap function is activated.
Electric windows 70 One-touch up & down By briefly pressing and then releasing a switch (within 1/2second), a window can be opened or closed at a single touch. Window movement can be stopped at any time by pressing the opposing side of the switch. NOTE:One-touch up is not available on rear windows. Anti-trap function The anti-trap function is a safety feature which prevents a window from closing when an obstruction is sensed (WINDOW BLOCKED appears in the message centre). It is recommended that this is set at all times, but particularly when carrying children. NOTE:If the one-touch and anti-trap functions have not been set, an audible warning sounds and WINDOW NOT SET is displayed in the message centre whenever a window is closed and also whenever the starter switch is turned on or off. Setting the one-touch & anti-trap functions If the battery has been disconnected, it will be necessary to reset the one-touch and anti-trap functions on each window, using the following procedure: 1.FULLY open and close each window in one continuous operation (note that as the window is closing, an audible warning sounds and WINDOW NOT SET is displayed in the message centre). 2.Once the window has been fully opened and closed, an audible warning sounds and WINDOW SET (together with a window identifier message) is displayed in the message centre. The one-touch and anti-trap functions will now be operational. NOTE:The one-touch up function is available on front windows only.
Electric windows 71 Overriding the anti-trap function Under certain conditions, you may wish to override the anti-trap function. If, for example, you attempt to operate the windows with the operating mechanism partially frozen, the anti-trap function may falsely sense a trap situation and fail to close the window (always clear any ice from the window to prevent overloading the operating mechanism). The anti-trap function can be overridden as follows: 1.Using the centre console switches only, press and hold the upper part of the appropriate window operating switch within 10 seconds of the window backing off (after it has falsely sensed a trap situation). 2.Continue to hold the switch until the window is either closed or has reached the desired position (note that as the window is closing, an audible warning sounds and ANTI-TRAP OFF is displayed in the message centre). NOTE:The anti-trap function will be operational again, as soon as the window operating switch is released.
