Opening and closing CONTROLS
37
Initializing electric power windows
If the battery was disconnected, e.g. for
changing batteries or vehicle storage,
reinitialize the power windows; otherwise, the
windows will not be lowered.<
1. Close the doors.
2. Open both windows.
3. Close both windows.
In the event of a system malfunction, please
contact your MINI dealer.
After switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, the windows
can still be operated for approx. 1 minute as
long as no door is opened.
Take the key with you when you leave the
car; otherwise, children could operate the
electric windows and possibly injure them-
selves.<
Pinch protection system
If the closing force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will stop
moving the window prior to lowering it again
slightly.
Even though there is the pinch protection
system, always make sure that the win-
dow's travel path is clear; otherwise, the safety
system might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as thin objects, and the win-
dow would continue closing.
Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired.<
Closing without pinch protection
If there is an external danger, or if ice on the win-
dows, etc., prevents you from closing the win-
dows normally, the window can be closed man-
ually.
1. Press the switch upward and hold it there.
Pinch protection is limited and the window
reopens slightly if the closing force exceeds
a certain value.
2. Press the switch upward again within
approx. 4 seconds and hold it there. The
window closes without pinch protection.
