Why Window Safety Matters
Power window systems have specific safety requirements because:
- They generate significant closing force (typically 100+ pounds)
- Can cause serious injury if malfunctioning
- Are particularly important for child safety
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118 mandates that all power windows must include automatic reversal systems to prevent injuries.
