The little ! light is on and shows an anti-trap mesage. How do I clear this or is it a glitch? TIA

I got it also a few eeks ago. It is probably due to high heat locked the window in its slider.

I could get rid of the message simply by turning the ingnition without pushing on the brake. The display showed the brake pedal symbol and it simply erased the previous message.

I also got it one month ago. After having made some testing on every window, I realized it was about the rear left window. The "fast lift" function was also disabled for this window.
I fixed it by lifting the window down and up using the rear left window switch (not from driver's door). Anti-trap and "fast lift" enabled again.
Never happened again.

I got this message on my 3rd day of ownership. I turned key to position 1, held window switch closed for a few seconds, then open then closed. Make sure to hold at each position for a few seconds, this seems to reset everything and the message disappears. Had similar problem with the sunroof also, same type fix with sunroof switch.

It is the controller/motor problem accordingly to our local dealer. It needs to be changed, if not, it would comes back again.

I had it and went back a few time and still it cam back afew days ago. I would be sending back to have the new revision controller/motor changed.

I had this on my drivers window, plus iy would go up partially and then reverse--they replaced the window drive--no problems now.

Had the same message few days ago.

Was told by a guy in our local meet up that this problem can be solved by holding your window button up for two or three seconds longer. This will "Reboot" the anti-trap message and set it back to default..

I have tried it nad the message goes away after hold all four windews for few seconds.

Kinda like "Alt-Ctr-Del" for soft reboot on your PC windows.

Hope this helps..give it a try to see if it works for u .
