NOTE: Initialization  comprises:
  • Normalization

The mechanical end positions are recorded and stored during normalization.
The characteristic curve is learned immediately after normalization.
When the characteristic curve is learned, the mechanical closing forces of the panorama glass roof are recorded and stored for correct operation of the anti-trapping mechanism.
Initialization is started and implemented by pressing and holding switch in "Lift" direction.
Initialization depends on installed roof system and software used.
