- What is wrong
- The remote activation device can close windows and sunroof from a distance greater than the maximum (6 meters) permitted by fmvss no.118, "power operated window systems."
- Risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: this could allow windows or sunroofs to be closed on an arm or neck of an individual when the remote device operator is not within the immediate vicinity.
- Remedy
- Replace the inside rear view mirror which has the activation receiver with one whose receiver will control the door locking and theft alarm, but will not permit remote operation of the windows and sunroof.
