Notes on initializing power windows

2021 BMW i3 Range ExtenderSECTION Notes on initializing power windows
NOTE: Initialization  is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.
Initialization  comprises:
  • Normalization
  • Learning characteristic curve

With normalization, the mechanical end stops of the power electric windows are recorded and stored.
The characteristic curve is learned immediately after standardization.
When the characteristic curve is learned, the mechanical closing forces of the power windows are recorded and stored for correct operation of the crush guard.
Initialization, i.e. scaling and learning of characteristic curve, is performed in a continuous operation.
