INTRODUCTION - BODYSHELL WINDOWS
WARNINGS
Work carefully on the fittings and use the recommended tools correctly to prevent damage.
Use the specialist equipment for removing the window glasses, working very carefully to avoid damaging the glass and the bodyshell.
During the operations illustrated below always use either the piano wire or the vibrating blade to cut the sealant. The two tools can usually be used interchangeably.
Follow the manufacturer''s recommendations for sealants meticulously as far as the instructions for usage and times are concerned.
PRECAUTIONS
Before working on the electrical system (connectors, electrical components, wiring etc.), always DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.
If the battery is disconnected the Steering Lock Node remains in the condition (unlocked or locked) that it is in: during workshop operations and repairs, whenever it is necessary to turn the steering wheel with the battery disconnected, leave the TEG inserted when the battery is disconnected. The steering will therefore remain released and free to turn.
INITIALISIATION PROCEDURE FOR DOOR NODES
Following a power supply failure to the control units (for example, battery disconnection) the system must be initialized once again, following the instructions below and working with the ignition key ON (TEG inserted) and the doors and windows closed.
- completely open the driver''s door window, keeping the operating button pressed for at least 3 seconds after the (lower) end of travel position
- completely close the driver''s door window, keeping the operating button pressed for at least 3 seconds after the (upper) end of travel position
- carry out the same operations for the passenger window
- make sure that the initialization is correct by checking that the windows work properly in automatic mode.
Use the specialist equipment for removing the window glasses, working very carefully to avoid personal injury.
Always move the glass with the help of an assistant.
