Switch functions via front door LIN
The driver power window, outside mirror and trunk lid switch group and the left front seat operation switch group as well as the left interior CL switch are connected with the left front door control unit via front door LIN.

Thermal protection for left front power window motor
The left front door control unit calculates the actuation duration, operating voltage, rpm of the left front power window motor as well as the outside and inside temperature at the bearing points of the left front power window motor to protect the left front power window motor.
When a temperature of T = 85 °C is reached, the left front power window motor is actuated only as long as the request is present of the end position is reached.

During automatic raising it is still possible to reverse directions when the overload protection force limitation is actuated. It is possible to reactuate the left front power window motor after a cooling phase calculated by the left front door control unit.
