Emergency closing and panic mode

Emergency closing:

Emergency closing is for intentional closing of the side windows with the anti-trap function. To do this, the power window switch must be pressed and held. It may be necessary to use this function in the event of an attack from outside or if the side windows are frozen.

Emergency closing can be activated up to a speed of 16 km/h.

If something becomes trapped in the window, the selected side window opens just a few millimetres (unlike the normal procedure when something is trapped in the window; see indirect anti-trap function).

Panic mode:

The panic mode can only be triggered after emergency closing has been performed.

If the user releases and then presses and holds the power window switch within 4 seconds, the side window is closed without the anti-trap function. The side window is then closed with maximum force and speed. If something becomes trapped, the power window motor runs until the overheating protection cuts in. It is always possible to open the side windows irrespective of overheating protection.

Releasing the held power window switch interrupts the emergency closing or panic mode function.

When the childproof locks are applied, emergency closing for the rear side doors can only be triggered via the switch block in the driver's door.

If emergency closing is triggered for any side window via the switch block in the driver's door: the closing operation can be stopped by the other power window switches unless the childproof locks have been applied.
