Anti-trap mechanism

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The anti-trap function is active during the entire window movement in the closing direction. The indirect anti-trapping mechanism does not prevent trapping as a general principle, rather it limits the maximum permitted trapping power. The anti-trap function is only enabled once the power windows have been successfully initialized and automatic closing is possible. The mechanical forces for the closing procedure vary according to the ambient temperature and ageing. Consequently, the closing force is relearnt each time the sunroof closes, so that the anti-trap function can adjust accordingly.
