Panic Mode

Panic mode is triggered by overpulling releasing-overpulling (overpulling = pulling beyond limit stop) the power window switches.

It is necessary to release and overpull the switch again as the pressure-sensitive finger guard is still active the first time the switch is overpulled. Overpulling the power window switch the second time within 4 seconds closes the window with maximum force.

NOTE: The indirect pressure-sensitive finger guard is no longer active in this case. The window closes at the maximum closing force and does not reverse.
