Electric power windows

To open and close windows

With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher:
> Press the switch to the resistance

point: the window retracts, or respec-
tively the tilt-out window moves out-
ward; it remains in motion for as long
as you maintain pressure on the
switch

> Press the switch briefly past the pres-

sure point: the window moves auto-
matically. Pressing the switch again
stops the opening cycle.

You can close the window in the same
manner by pulling the switch. The tilt-
out window does not close automati-
cally.

After the ignition has been switched off:
You can still operate the electric power
windows for up to 15 minutes, as long
as no one opens either of the doors.

When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the ignition key from the

lock and remember to close the doors
to prevent children from operating the
power windows and injuring them-
selves, etc.

For convenience operation via the
remote control or the door lock, refer to

Trap protection

The front windows are each equipped
with a contact strip located on the
upper inside of the window frame. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while the window is being raised,
the system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it a small
distance.

Despite trap protection, always be
careful to ensure that the closing

path of the window is not obstructed.
Some types of objects, for instance
very thin objects, might fail to trigger
the contact strip in some situations.
If the switch is pulled and held beyond
the resistance point, this trap protection
is overridden.
