Replacement:

A normalization must be carried out in order to activate anti-trapping protection.

Operating sequence for normalization:

Open corresponding window completely.
Press corresponding power window switch into "Close one-touch operation" (second switch stage).
Once the upper end position has been reached, hold power window switch down for approx. 1 second more.

Normalization is thus completed.

NOTE: Carry out function check (one-touch function, anti-trapping protection and, if necessary, comfort function).
