Opening and

closing

Opening, closing

Press switch to resistance point:
The window continues to open as long as
you keep the switch pressed.

Press switch beyond resistance point:
The window opens automatically. Pressing
the switch again stops the opening move-
ment.

You can close the windows in the same manner
by pulling the switch.
Separate switches for the rear windows are
located in the rear.
For information on using the convenient opera-
tion at the door lock or with the remote control,
refer to page

For information on comfort closing with comfort
access, refer to page

After switching off ignition

You can still operate the windows with the
remote control removed or the ignition
switched off for approx. 1 minute, as long as
neither of the front doors has been opened.

Pinch protection system

If the closing force exceeds a specific value as a
window closes, the closing action is interrupted
and the window reopens slightly.

Despite the pinch protection system,
inspect the window's travel path prior to

closing it, as the safety system might fail to
detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as
thin objects, and the window would continue
closing.
Do not install any accessories in the range of
movement of the windows, otherwise the pinch
protection system will be impaired.

Closing without pinch protection
system

In case of danger from outside or if, for example,
ice on the window prevents normal closing, pro-
ceed as follows:

Pull the switch beyond the resistance point
and hold. The pinch protection system is
limited and the window opens slightly if the
closing force exceeds a certain value.

Pull the switch beyond the resistance point
and hold again within approx. 4 seconds.
The window closes without the pinch pro-
tection system.

Safety switch

With the safety switch, you can prevent the rear
windows from being opened or closed via the
switches in the rear passenger area, by chil-
dren, for example. The LED lights up when this
safety feature is activated.

Always press the safety switch when chil-
dren ride in the rear, otherwise uncon-

trolled closing of the windows could lead to
injuries.

Glass sunroof*, electric

The glass sunroof is ready for operation with
the ignition switched on, refer to page

To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the glass sunroof and keep it in

your field of vision until it is closed.
Always take along the remote control when you
leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for
example, operate the roof and injure them-
selves.
