Releasing the button causes the window to halt immediately.
Force limitation
Only version 2 of the power windows is equipped with the power limiter (does
not apply to the passenger window).
Read and observe
and on page 57 first.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes
down by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING■ Variant 1 of the power window » Fig. 38 on page 57 has no force limiter.
The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
The passenger window in variant 2 of the power window » Fig. 38 on

The lights work only with the ignition on, unless otherwise stated.
The layout of the controls on right-hand drive vehicles differs partially from
that shown in » Fig. 41 on page 60 . The symbols which mark the positions of
the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be observed
» page 144 , Headlight glasses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
WARNING (Continued)■ The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under
these conditions we recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!■
Never drive with only the parking lights on! The parking lights are not
bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen
by other oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when
it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet areas are free from condensation after a short time, al-
though the headlight lenses may still be misted up around the edge. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.■
The instruments are also illuminated when the parking light, low or high
beam light is switched on. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be ac-
tivated or deactivated in the Infotainment » Operating instructions for Info-
tainment , chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .

WARNINGAlways adjust the headlight beam to satisfy the following conditions.■The vehicle does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming vehi-
cles.■
The beam range is sufficient for safe driving.
Note
■ The light switch is in position or and the ignition is turned off, the low
beam is switched off automatically and the status light is lit. The parking light
goes out after the ignition key is removed.■
If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
