         20.3.2.1.1.4.1  remain operational for not more than 45 seconds; and

         20.3.2.1.1.4.2  if the driver's window is operated within the 45 seconds period, the windows can remain operational for an additional period of not more than 45 seconds, after activation of the driver's window switch;

          and

         20.3.2.1.1.4.3  if the driver's door is opened within the 45 seconds period, the power operated window system can remain operational for an additional period of not more than 45 seconds, after the opening of the driver's door. 20.3.2.1.1.5 Remote closing is allowable through continuous operation of a remote actuation device provided that the remote actuation device must be incapable of closing the power window from a distance of more than 11 m from the vehicle.

20.3.2.2.                    For operation of rear window switches which are not situated in close proximity of the driver, the system must be designed to enable the driver to:
20.3.2.2.1.              turn off the switch(es) of the closing mechanism(s) of the rear window(s); and
20.3.2.2.2.              initiate opening of the rear window(s).
20.3.2.3.                    Requirement of clause 20.3.2.2.2 assumes that the rear window switch(es) which are situated out of the driver's reach, will not be operated.
20.3.2.4.                    Only momentary type switches or valves must be used for operating mechanisms to close power operated windows except for the driver's door window.
20.3.2.5.                    The requirements of clause 20.3.2.1 and clause 20.3.2.4 are not applicable if:
20.3.2.5.1.              the closing movement of a power window starts at an opening not exceeding 4 mm, or
20.3.2.5.2.              the closing of a power window of a vehicle's door without upper door frame closes from an opening not exceeding 12 mm whenever the pertinent door is closed.
20.3.2.6.                    Notwithstanding clauses 20.3.2.1 and 20.3.2.4, a power operated window system may close if it is capable of the following requirements:
20.3.2.6.1.              while closing, the window reverses direction before exerting a pinch force of 100N or more within the range of 200 mm to 4 mm beneath the top edge of the power window frame.
20.3.2.6.2.              upon such reversal, the window must open to one of the following positions:

         A position that permits a cylindrical rod 200 mm in diameter to be placed through the opening at the top edge of the window.

         A position that is at least as open as the position at the time closing was initiated.

         A position at least 50 mm more open than the position at the time reversing was initiated.

20.3.2.6.3.              To check these devices, a measuring instrument/test rod is placed through the window 'Opening' from the inside of the vehicle such that the cylindrical surface of the rod contacts
