Operating The Windows: Notes

The power windows are enabled and disabled by the power-window master in the CAS. Enabling and disabling are dependent on coding and the status of the door contacts and the terminal status.

The power windows can be operated from "terminal R on" and are disabled in the crossover into "sleep mode".

The switch control logic, which was introduced for the first time in the E46, is also used in the E65. This prevents the windows from being closed by mistake.

Toll operation (one-touch) takes place in the closing or opening direction immediately after the switch position "one touch closed" or "one-touch open" has been reached. The power windows are activated in the initial closed/open lock-in positions as long as the button is held in this position. Anti-trapping protection is active in both one-touch and manual operation.

The function with the highest priority that is started or selected first is executed. However, a one-touch function can be cancelled by the local switch.

In order to prevent damage to the motor, the window travel is subject to a maximum activation time of 10 s (exception: initialization run).

If the window glass moves to the upper stop, the drive is activated at full power for the blocking time of 0.5 s in order to ensure safe closing.

The following functions are available thanks to timed activation of the power-window drives by means of power final stages:

• Smooth startup
• Smooth rundown
• Speed control (2 speed stages)
