quickly in the direction of the arrow » Fig. 46.
The brake light in the rear window illuminates and the lid opens/closes auto-
matically. An acoustic signal is sounded when opening/closing the lid.
If the lid does not move, then repeat the operating process after a few sec-
onds.

We recommend that the function is deactivated in the following cases:
▶ Installation of a roof rack.
▶ Connecting a trailer (accessory) to the towbar.
▶ Manual vehicle wash.
▶ Maintenance and repair work in the back of the vehicle.
When connecting a device to the trailer socket the deactivation of the function
takes place.

Force limiterRead and observe
and on page 62 first.
The electrical power windows are fitted with a force limiter.
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 not operational 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.
Window convenience operation

The convenience operation for the window offers the option to open/close all
the windows at once (or only the window in the driver's door). The function of

LED headlights
Read and observe
on page 65 first.
The LED headlights (hereinafter referred to as just system) use the journey da-ta to automatically ensure the best possible light cone in front of the vehicle.
The system will automatically operate in the following modes: urban, extra-ur-
ban, highway and mist. The static corning light provides for the illumination of
the road in the curve.
The system works as long as the light switch is in position 
.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from
a specialist garage.

72Operation

WARNINGDo not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them
off the windscreen » page 304.■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor.
■
Carefully release the frozen-on windscreen wiper blades from the wind-
screen and remove snow and ice.
■
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is the risk of damaging the
windscreen with the windscreen wiper arms.
■
Do not switch on the ignition when the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
ded down - there is the danger of damaging the bonnet by the windscreen
wiper arms.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away
the obstacle five times. Thereafter, the wipers will stop to prevent them be-
coming damaged. Turn on the wipers again only after the obstacle has been
removed.
Note
■ Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper
blades.■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.
