matically. Briefly press the switch
again to stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
After the ignition has been switched off:
You can still operate the windows for
approx. 1 minute, as long as no door
has been opened.
For the convenience mode via the
remote control or the door lock, refer to
pages
31 , 33 .
Anti-trapping mechanism
A contact strip is integrated into the
inner side of each of the upper window
frame sections. If pressure is exerted
against this contact strip while a win-
dow is being raised, the system will
respond by stopping the window and
then retracting it a small distance.
Despite the anti-trapping mecha-
nism, be extremely careful that the
closing path of the window is not
obstructed whenever it is closed.
Otherwise, an object might not touch
the contact strip in some situations,
with very thin objects, for instance.
You can disable the anti-trapping
mechanism by pulling the switch
beyond the resistance point and hold-
ing it.
Because the power windows are sealed
at high pressure to prevent wind noise
when closed, a powerful motor is
required for efficient closing. When
closing the windows, always ensure
that they are not obstructed in any way.
Unsupervised use of these systems can
result in serious personal injury.
Remove the ignition key to deactivate
the power windows whenever you leave
the vehicle. Never leave the keys in the
vehicle with unsupervised children.
Never place anything that could
obstruct the driver's vision on or next to
the windows.

Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent
the rear windows from being opened or
closed via the switches in the rear pas-
senger area, by children, for example.
You can also prevent adjustments of
the power rear-seat backrests from the
rear passenger area, refer to page
48 .
Always press the safety switch
when children ride in the rear, oth-
erwise unchecked closing of the win-
dows could lead to injuries.
