Resetting windows
If you're experiencing issues with a power-operated window, you may need to reset it. This allows the vehicle to recalibrate its position to restore both pinch protection and automatic window movement.
Calibration errors
Your vehicle continuously monitors your windows and how they are positioned. Sometimes, an error can occur causing your vehicle to perceive a window's position to be different than it actually is. This can cause errors with the auto close function, as well as with pinch protection. If there is a calibration error with a window, you can reset it yourself or with help from an authorized Volvo workshop.
There are two different calibration errors that can affect window calibration. If the window monitoring system registers a calibration error, the auto close function is disabled. If the error is not detected, the auto close function may still work to a certain degree, but not as intended.
| Offset down | The window is further down than the vehicle's registered window position. This stops the window from fully closing, as the vehicle registers it as closed before it reaches the top of the window frame. You can recalibrate a window experiencing this error on your own. |
|---|---|
| Offset up | The window is further up than the vehicle's registered window position. The manual controls work, but if you use auto close, the window will close and then open again. This is because the system registers the top of the window frame as an obstruction and activates pinch protection. There is no way to recalibrate a window with this offset on your own. Instead contact an authorized Volvo workshop. |
The pinch protection system might not work properly until the window has been reset after losing calibration.Important
Resetting a window
- Use the switches on the driver door panel to close the window you want to reset. Lightly pull the switch until the window is completely closed.
- Quickly and lightly pull the switch twice.The window is recalibrated. Pinch protection and automatic window movement are re-enabled.
Check to make sure that the window operates correctly after following the reset steps. The window should close completely when you pull the switch all the way and release. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Volvo workshop.
