      Fail-safe deactivation condition 

      • When the pulse sensor is normal, to deactivate fail-safe mode, pull up the power window switch to the auto up position and hold it for at least 1 second to fully close the window from the fully open position. As a result, the auto up/down function will return.
  3. INITIALIZATION FAILURE 
    1. During initialization, when the window position or initialization complete status cannot be properly read from the non-volatile memory, the following power window operations are prohibited.

      • Switch on the door:

        When the jam protection function/catch protection function do not operate due to LIN communication failure, the manual up and auto up functions will not operate as the state of the IG signal is unknown.

      • Remote switch operation:

        Operation is not possible during LIN communication failure.

  6. DISPLACEMENT OF NON-DETECTION RANGE TO THE OPENING DIRECTION AND LIN COMMUNICATION FAILURE / INITIAL FAILURE AND LIN COMMUNICATION FAILURE 
    1. If the LIN communication system is malfunctioning and the window position and learned value are abnormal, or the LIN communication system is malfunctioning and the window position or initialization complete status cannot be properly read from the non-volatile memory during initialization, the following power window operations are prohibited.
