2022 Volvo XC40 Your Volvo Windows, glass, and mirrors
Windows, glass, and mirrors
The car contains several different windows, glass panes, and mirrors. Some of the windows in the car are laminated.
The windscreen has laminated glass, and laminated glass is available as an option for certain other glass areas. Laminated glass is reinforced, which provides better protection against break-ins and improved sound insulation in the passenger compartment.
The panoramic roof also has laminated glass.

Pinch protection for windows and sun blinds
All power windows and sun blinds have pinch protection which is deployed if they are blocked by any object while opening or closing.
In the event of blocking, the movement stops and then reverses automatically to approx. 50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked position (or to the full ventilation position).
It is possible to force pinch protection when closing has been canceled, e.g. when ice is formed, by continuing to press the control in one and the same direction.
If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a reset sequence can be tested.
