Electric power windows

To open and close windows

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.

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.

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 windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch. The tilt-
out windows do not reclose automati-
cally.

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

Safety feature

A contact strip is located on the inside
upper frame of each of the front win-
dows. If pressure is exerted against this
contact strip while a window is being
raised, the system will respond by stop-
ping the window and then retracting it a
small distance.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that

the closing path of the window is not
obstructed. Some types of objects
might fail to trigger the contact strip in
some situations – very thin objects, for
instance.
You can override this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.
