Pinch protection for windows andsun curtains
All windows and sun curtains * that are controlled
electrically have a pinch protection function that is triggered if anything blocks them while theyare opening or closing.
If pinch protection is activated, movement will stop and then retract automatically to approx.50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it wasblocked (or to full ventilation position). If pinch protection has been triggered, it is still possible to operate the window or sun curtainonce more in the same direction without pinchprotection, if this is done within 10 seconds afterpinch protection has been triggered. It is thus stillpossible to override pinch protection when clos-ing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by pressing andholding down the control until the window or suncurtain is fully closed.
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the func- tion for automatic opening and closing mustbe reset to function correctly. A reset isrequired in order for the pinch protection towork.
1 Does not apply to windshield and panoramic roof *, which are always laminated and therefore do not have this symbol.

For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto- dim, the rearview mirror must also be equippedwith auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade or objects onthe seats or in the cargo compartment in away that prevents light from reaching the sen-sors, the auto-dim function in the door andrearview mirrors will be reduced.
