The "ANTI-TRAP" warning light for the Power Windows has comes on while driving. Even when the light is not appearing on the dash, it still appears as a warning in the I-Control settings.

Any idea's of what might be happening? The windows are functioning properly, except for the drivers window, which will not close automatically. Besides that, I do not notice anything else malfunctioning.

When the car starts, the Anti Trap warning light briefly appears on the dash. It is listed in the I-service console as a Anti Trap Power Window malfunction. The driver and passenger windows all work, except the driver side window, which does not close automatically as it normally does. It opens automatically using the switch, but does not close fully with the pull of the switch as it should. I am not sure if this is related to the warning light. Hopefully, that makes more sense than the previous post.

Lol the drivers window is malfunctioning if it doesnt roll up automaticlly that means the anti-trap is deactivated. I had the same prob w/ my passenger window I just kept rolling it up and down and it went away

Kind of funny that this topic has come up, my car did the same exact thing a couple days ago. I just rolled the window all the way down then back up and everything was fine. I wonder if the cold weather affects something in the anti-trap system.
