    I have a question about the electrical windows in my Peugeot Partner.
    When I give a press on the button for the left window it starts going down
    until it is open all the way. When I do the same for the passenger window,
    it only goes down until I release the button. Is this normal?
    I would prefer the same behaviour on the left side, so that the window stops
    moving down any time I release the button...

  2. The drivers door window has a touch sensitive control.

    Touch lightly and stop it will . Press hard and it will go all the way

    The passengers window will stop as soon as you release the button.

    Hope this helps

    I'm afraid it didn't really. Pressing lightly or hard makes no difference.
    The only thing that does make difference is the duration of the button
    press. When I press for very short time, it will stop, while pressing for a
    (little) longer time it keeps going down all the way. The only way to have
    some controll over the drivers window is by pressing the button with short
    jerks until it is half way, but this isn't very handy. And I don't think
    operating this way is not going to be very beneficial for the lifespan of
    the motor.
    I would by far have preferred the left window operating the same way as the
    passenger window. The passenger window can be operated perfectly for any
    situation...

    Press to start, press again to stop?

    Yes, that'll work, but I don't like it. :-( Button for passenger side is
    much more intuitive. Why have they made them different I wonder?

  7. When I press for very short time, it will stop, while pressing for a
    It's a 'feature' :)
    I think the idea is that if the driver needs to open his window whilst
    driving (e.g. when approaching a car-park barrier), he can quickly set it
    to open and return his hand to the wheel without having to wait whilst the
    window winds all the way down. It supposedly improves safety.
    I prefer the implementation on my honda - you press the button relatively
    gently and it acts as normal, but press it harder and it opens/shuts fully.

    fully.


    I think the way it is implemented for the passenger window is perfect
    logical. Press: window goes down (or up), release: window stops. This way
    the window position can be controlled simply and exactly.
