Opening and

closing

Windows

Keep windows in your line of sight while
closing. Failure to do so can result in

bodily injury.
Always remove the key when leaving the vehi-
cle; otherwise, children could operate the win-
dows and injure themselves.

Opening, closing

As of ignition key position 1:

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

Press the switch past the resistance point:
The window opens automatically. Pressing
again stops the opening motion.

You can close the windows in the same manner
by pulling the switch.
In the back, separate switches are provided in
the armrests.
For convenience operation using the remote
control or the door lock, refer to pages

After switching off ignition

You can operate the windows for up to 1 minute
as long as no door has been opened.

Pinch protection system

If the closing force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will imme-
diately stop moving the window prior to lower-
ing it slightly.

Despite the presence of the pinch protec-
tion system, inspect the window's travel

path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-

tions, such as very thin objects, and the window
would continue closing.
You can disable the pinch protection system by
pressing the switch past the resistance point
and holding it.
Do not install any accessories in the movement
range of the window as this could impair the
function of the pinch protection system.

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply

After disconnecting the battery, the pinch pro-
tection system must be reinitialized. To do this,
open and close the windows once and continue
pull the switch for longer than 2 seconds after
closing.

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 function is activated.

Press the safety switch when children
ride in the rear; otherwise, unsupervised

closing of the windows could lead to injuries.
