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
check and clear the window's travel path

prior to closing it; otherwise, the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as thin objects, and the window
would continue closing.

Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired.
Convertible: the rear windows are not equipped
with pinch protection. Therefore, watch them
closely when closing to avoid personal injury.

Closing without pinch protection

If there is an external danger, or if ice on the win-
dows, etc., prevents you from closing the win-
dows normally, proceed as follows:

Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there. Pinch protection is limited and
the window reopens slightly if the closing
force exceeds a certain value.

Pull the switch again past the resistance
point within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there. The window closes without pinch
protection.

Coupe: Glass roof, electric

To prevent injuries, watch the glass roof
while closing it.

Take the remote control with you when you
leave the car; otherwise, children could operate
the roof and possibly injure themselves.

Tilting

Press the switch.

The closed glass roof is tilted and the slid-
ing visor opens slightly.
