Standardising the power windows
The system must be re-standardised after an interruption in the power supply to the power window electronics in the door. The position values for the short-stroke lowering function, position-controlled lowering function in the case of convertible top actuation and enabling for "automatic start-up of window closing" (one-touch function) are redefined. The standardisation process is initiated by continuous actuation of the operating button Raise window.

- Hold down the Raise window button until the window is closed and is switched off by the blockage detection function of the power windows.

Blockage detection function

NOTE: If the window drive encounters resistance during the door window movement, the motor is switched off after a delay of 500 ms.

Precondition for operation of the power windows
Ignition switched on.
Ignition key should not be removed from the steering lock with the ignition switched off.
The door is opened for the first time after switching off the ignition.
Door opened.

Adjusting the door window angle in the vehicle's longitudinal direction

2. Release electrical plug connections for door trim panel and remove door trim panel.
3. Adjust to equalise the angle of the door window on the clamping jaws of the driver (upwards or downwards) -A-. Adjustment range: 10 mm






4. Tighten the fastening screw -1- on the clamping jaw -2- after completing the adjustment. Tightening torque -] Final tightening: 8.5 Nm (ftlb.) (6.25)±1.5 Nm (ftlb.) (±1)

Adjusting the door window height






NOTE:
- The wax marking along the door window should be uniformly approx. 4 mm.
- The adjusting screws of the drivers for the upper limit stops for the door window height are accessible through 2 holes at the bottom of the door.

1. Adjust the upper limit stops of the drivers by screwing the fastening screw in or out using socket E6 in or against the direction of travel. Adjustment range: approx. 15 mm






NOTE: The adjusting screws of the drivers for the upper limit stops for the door window height are accessible through 2 holes at the bottom of the door.

2. Adjust the drivers so that they meet the upper limit stops at the same time.

Adjustment procedure:
3. Open the door.
4. Lock door lock with a screwdriver.
5. Re-insert the door trim panel (see Inserting door trim panel).
6. Move the power window regulator into its upper position.
7. Adjust door window height at the drivers so that the door window evenly projects approx. 2 mm above the roof strip.

Checking the adjustment






8. Close the door.
9. Use a wax marker to mark the door window along the roof strip.
10. Actuate the door handle until the window lowering function is activated. Lowering function adjustment value: approx. 11 mm
11. The wax marking along the door window must have the dimension -X = approx. 4 mm-. Correct adjustment if necessary.

Adjustment of the door window pressing force on the door seal at the top and sides






NOTE: The adjusting nuts of the power window unit rails for the pressing force of the door window upper edge against the convertible top are accessible through two holes at the bottom of the door.

1. Move the power window unit rails outwards or inwards by approx. 10 mm.






Adjustment procedure:

2. Open the door.

NOTE: The adjusting nuts of the power window unit rails for the pressing force of the door window upper edge against the convertible top are accessible through two holes at the bottom of the door.

3. Move the power window regulator into its upper position and undo the fastening nuts on the power window rails.
4. Adjust the power window unit so that the upper edge of the door window is sufficiently pressed against the door seal at the side. Tightening torque Final tightening: 9.7 Nm (ftlb.) (7.2)

Checking the adjustment:

NOTE: It should not be possible to pull out the sheet of paper along the B-pillar when the door is closed.

- clamp a sheet of paper between the door window and door seal.
