WARNING■Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehi-
cle. In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from
the inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 63. If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of
injury.
■
Deactivating the electrically operated power windows in the rear doors is
recommended (safety push button)
S
when children are being transported
in the rear seats » Fig. 44 on page 62 .
CAUTION
■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 179 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the elec-
trical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power
window mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause
there to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop
and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the win-
dow » page 63 .
■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.Note■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the win-
dows for approx. 10 minutes. After the driver's or front passenger's door has
been opened, the windows can only be operated by using button A
» Fig. 44
on page 62 .
■
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventila-
tion system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are
opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the
wind noise is more at certain speeds.
■
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Re-
peated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to over-
heat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short
time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating
protection has cooled down.

Force limit
Read and observe
and on page 62 first.
The electrical power window system is fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
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.
Window convenience operation

The convenience operation of the windows offers the possibility of opening or
closing all the windows at once.

is only possible within 45 seconds after locking the vehicle.
The movement of the window is stopped immediately when the key or the re-
spective button is released.
