Tail Door Window Raise If the rear screen wiper is selected on when the tail door window is raised, the CCU will start/ resume operation of the wiper once the window is closed.
Tail Door Key Barrel Raise: With the tail door closed and, on 3 door models the roof closed/on, turning and holding the key in the tail door key barrel will signal the CCU to raise the tail door window. The key must be held until the window is fully raised (stalled position). If the key is released before the window is fully raised, the raise signal is removed from the CCU and the window will be fully lowered.
Console Switch Raise: With the ignition on, the tail door closed and, on 3 door models the roof closed/on, pressing the console switch in the up position will signal the CCU to raise the tail door window. The switch must be pressed until the window is fully raised (stalled position). If the switch is released before the window is fully raised, the raise signal is removed from the CCU and the window will be fully lowered.
Motor Timeout To protect the tail door window motor from damage, the motor outputs have a fail-safe inhibit relative to the window height. This prevents the motor from being overdriven. If the fail-safe limit is reached, the CCU will energise the tail window down relay, to fully lower the window, and change the window position setting to uncalibrated. The calibration procedure will need to be performed to restore normal tail door window operation.
Tail Door Window Open Warning If the tail door window is calibrated and open and, on 3 door models the roof is closed/on, and a lock request is made from the remote handset or the driver's door key barrel, the CCU will sound an audible miss-lock warning to advise that the window is open. The window can be closed using either the console switch or the tail door key barrel.
Calibration When the CCU is changed from transit mode to a valid market mode, and after the vehicle battery has been disconnected, the tail door window must be calibrated to provide the CCU with a window position datum. When the CCU mode is changed to a valid market, or the battery reconnected, the CCU automatically begins the calibration process by energising the down contacts in the tail window lift relay until the window motor stalls, to ensure the window is fully down. The calibration procedure is completed as follows: 1 Ensure the tail door is closed, the vehicle unlocked and the alarm disarmed. 2 On 3 door models, ensure the roof is on (hard back) or lowered and secured (soft back). 3 With the ignition on, use the console switch, or the vehicle key in the tail door lock, to raise the window until the motor stalls with the window fully closed. 4 Switch off the ignition.
If the calibration procedure is unsuccessful, the CCU will sound a warning for approximately 0.8 second and fully lower the window.
Tail door window calibration can fail for the following reasons: l Window stops before minimum travel is achieved. l Window does not achieve a stall. l Window request removed before stall is achieved. l Tail door opened while driving window up.
