Anyone know how to deactivate this warning without going to the dealer or activate the window trap function?

You have probably gotten this warning because you have a faulty anti trap sensor or more possibly a malfunctioning window motor.
I?ve had it twice on my car, right rear and front left window. Had to replace the electric motors on both!

Pretty common complaint. Mine was driver side motor. I could make it happen 95% of time by putting car in reverse with window open and then try to close. Almost guarenteed of getting the anti trap warning. I worked around it ok by raising prior to putting in reverse (could even have been some loose mechanical item). But did complain, they installed motor and worked perfectly since.
