First of all: This forum is great! People are nice, constructive and helpful!
I've only just joined on the basis of being the proud owner of a C5 2.0 HDI Prestige 03/2003 aut. - wonderful upgrade from my old ZX 1.8 AURA.
However I was hoping one of You helpful chaps could help me with a (hopefully) small problem: The left hand side rear side electrical window winds up to the 'closed'-position and then reverses down approx. 10 cm.
I gather its the 'calibration' of the anti-pinch safety feature thats off.
I've tried the fix of removing the battery connection for 5 min. - reconnecting and operating window fully down and then fully up (as described i users manual) - no dice. (On-board computer resets fine - so power has been off sufficiently long).
Is it neccesary to let the Citroen-shop tinker with my BSI-box??
Any other good ideas?
Best regards

Electric window on C5 2.0HDI/2003 - calibration - how?
Moderator: RichardW
Try closing the window without the one touch function and keep pushing it's button up for a few seconds after it has closed. You will hear a kind of "click" from the window relay.

Thanks for the input Francisco.
I've tried what You suggested with and without removing the battery terminal - but all the windows acts as they've done all the time. Unfortunately also the problem-window
It does not matter which button I use (driver seat or rear seat) - it does not matter which 'mode' I use the button in (one-touch or single-movement) - the window rolls to the top and a second after it rolls down approx. 10 cm.
I really don't understand because my instruction manual describes:
"If the battery has been disconnected it is important to reactivate the safety system of the windows. Please perform the following operation: roll the window all the way down then raise the window again using the same button (it will only be possible to raise the window approx. 2 cm per activation). Keep activating the button until the window is in the top position.
This maneuvre is almost the same as you describe only my windows are not limited to rolling 2cm per activation. It seems like my car does not reset this safety system even though battery has been disconnected. ( I've even tried to short the battery connections after 10 min. disconnection to be sure all residual voltage was gone) Hmmmmm.
What to do?
Anyway - thanks for your help so far and thanks for the welcome
