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.
Panic mode
The panic mode can only be triggered after emergency closing has been performed. If the user releases and then presses and holds the power-window switch within four seconds, the side window is closed without the anti-trap function. The side window is then closed with maximum force and speed. In the event of blocking, the power-window motor is supplied with current until the overheating protection is activated. The side windows can be opened at any time, even if the thermal switch has tripped. Letting go of the power window switch interrupts the function.
