Guides and motor

The mechanism's motor incorporates the electronics to move the window automatically or manually and for the short drop function. The electronics of the motor do not feature the anti-pinch function; therefore automatic movements are only possible during the window lowering stage.

Window travel during short drop is 13.5 mm ±3 mm (measured on the vehicle with battery voltage 12.5 V ± 0.5 V; outside temperature: 23°C.)

With voltage higher than 16 V, the window cannot be moved. With voltage higher than 9.5 V, the window can still be moved.

DESCRIPTION 

The door electric windows are operated by means of the switches on the central tunnel.

The electronics inside the controls ensure the operation of the electric window motors which are operated automatically in accordance with the following logic:

When the doors are opened (at both Key-On and Key-Off), the door nodes activate the "Short Drop" function to prevent interference between the windows and the roof. In detail: if the window is rising when the door is opened, the glass reaches the Short Drop position, NOT the completely closed position. If the position of one or both of the windows is already at the level of the Short Drop position, no automatic movement takes place.
