CA and pinch protection

Gray135i · 07-16-2008, 04:05 PM

A note for anyone with comfort access... If you have your windows down and the keys in your pocket, be careful about leaning in the car to grab something. Apparently the CA still works through your clothing and starts to close the windows if you're leaning on the handle. The pinch protection does work though, even if it leaves your ribcage slightly bruised...

Ouch. Thanks for the information.

so, you made contact with the handle with your body (not specifically your hand) as you leaned on the car and that's how the car got you?
ouch, I will watch out...

Dam - I knew I didn't order CA for some reason or another! ; -)

Yeah, I was just leaning against the car (and door handle) and apparently the CA can still sense you through jeans and everything... i did it again in the garage later in the day to see if that was actually what caused it (being careful not to get shut-up again) and it closed again. I've had problems if I'm washing the car with the keys in my pocket and the doors randomly lock and unlock as I rinse the handle areas. Maybe my car is just sensitive to my touch :smile:
