Volkswagen ID.4: Power window pinch protection

The power window pinch protection system in the Volkswagen ID.4 is designed to significantly reduce the risk of injury when closing the windows by detecting resistance or obstacles.

If the window encounters resistance while closing, it will immediately stop and reopen automatically → .

1. Determine the cause that prevented the window from closing in your Volkswagen ID.4.

2. Attempt to close the window again.

If the window still does not close, the pinch protection system in the Volkswagen ID.4 will be temporarily deactivated for a few seconds.

If resistance persists, the window will stop at the obstruction point. Pressing the switch again within a short time will allow the window to close without pinch protection → .

Closing windows without pinch protection

1. Within a few seconds, pull and hold the window switch again. This overrides the pinch protection in the Volkswagen ID.4.

If the process takes longer than a few seconds, the safety system will reactivate. If resistance is detected again, the window will automatically reopen.

2. If the window still cannot be closed properly, have your Volkswagen ID.4 inspected by a qualified technician. Volkswagen recommends visiting an authorized dealer or service center.
