Operating power windows

Using the driver's door control panel, all power windows can be operated - using the control panels in the other doors operates the power window in the individual door.

The power windows are equipped with pinch protection. If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a reset sequence can be tested.

Note that if the car's software is not updated to version 1.101 or later, the power windows can be reactivated either through the centre display or by occupying the driver's seat, even if the keys are not inside the car.
