If something is blocking the window or panoramic roof when it is closing, it will stop and then slightly reverse, allowing you to remove what's in the way. In a similar manner, the boot is also covered by pinch protection when opening or closing.
Warning
- Make sure you have a clear view of the windows you operate.
- Do not allow children to play with the window controls.
- Never leave children alone in the car.
- Never put an object or body part through an open window, even if the car's electrical system is fully disconnected.
If the automatic closing of a window stops due to obstructions, such as ice, you can still try to close the window manually by continuing to pull the control switch. However, always try to remove the source of the obstruction first and make sure nothing is blocking the path of the window before trying to close it again.
If there is a problem with the pinch protection for the power windows, you can try to solve the issue by resetting them.
If pinch protection for the panoramic sun roof isn't working properly, contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Warning
The power window pinch protection may not work properly if the car loses track of the current window position. The window positions are recalibrated when you reset the automatic window movement. Always reset it to make sure the window positions are correctly calibrated if:
- the car has lost power, for instance if the 12 V battery has been disconnected.
- the automatic window movement does not work properly.
This restores the automatic window functionality and re-enables the pinch protection function.
