Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Opening and closing
The power windows may be operated from terminal R ON. When terminal R is OFF the power windows can still be operated for a further minute (encoded in the CAS for deactivation of off-load current violation).
The power windows cannot be operated if one of the front doors is open (dependent on coding).
The side windows can be opened and closed using the following control units:
- Switch block in the driver's door
- Power window switch in the front-passenger door or in the rear doors
- Remote control
- Driver's door lock cylinder
All the power window switches have two switch levels in either operating direction.
At the first switch level, the side window is opened or closed all the while the switch is pressed.
At the second switch level, the side window is opened or closed fully even after the switch has been released (one-touch opening and closing).
The power window drive runs at higher speed during one-touch opening or closing.
One-touch opening/closing is only possible with the anti-trap function activated.
To ensure that the side windows are securely closed, the power window motors are briefly moved to the locked position (mechanical final stop) end in the upper stop.
