Jam protection system

Concept

The jam protection prevents objects or body parts becoming jammed between the door frame and window while a window is being closed.

General information

If resistance or a blockage is detected while a window is being closed, the closing action is interrupted.

The window opens slightly.

Safety information

Warning

Accessories on the windows such as antennas can impact jam protection. There is a risk of injury.

Do not install accessories in the area of movement of the windows.

Closing without the jam protection system

In case of danger from the outside or if ice might prevent normal closing, proceed as follows:

1. Pull the switch past the
   resistance point and hold it there.

   The window closes with limited jam protection.

   If the closing force exceeds a specific threshold, closing is interrupted.

2. Pull the switch past the
   resistance point again within approx. 4 seconds and hold it there.

   The window closes without jam protection.
