The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 41.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is necessa-
ry to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activation means closing the lid
by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

The power windows operate only when ignition is switched on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely once
the driver or front passenger door are opened.
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
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.
WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
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 46. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton)
S
» Fig. 25 on page 45 when children are
being transported on the rear seats.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 200 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the electri-
cal power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power win-
dow 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 window » page 46.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.
44Using the system
Page 48 of 274

For the sake of the environmentAt high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. 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
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 44.
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 being moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-moved, 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!

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is switched on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of the controls differs
from that shown in » Fig. 30 on page 51. The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 200 , Headlight lenses .
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 light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions. 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 side lights on! The side 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 surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the
headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has no
influence on the life of the lighting system.

switched on for longer than approx. 4 seconds.
CAUTION
Do not affix any stickers or similar objects in front of the light sensor on the wind-
screen, so that its functionality is not impaired or disabled.
Adaptive headlights (AFS)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 51.
The AFS system makes sure the street remains lit up depending on the traffic and weather situation.
The system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle to the driving speed or the use of the wiper.
The AFS system works in tandem with automatic driving lamp control
, please
read the following » page 53.
The AFS system can work only if the following condition is met. The light switch is in the position
.
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is
active if none of the following modes are active.
City mode
The light cone in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that this and the adjacent
sidewalks, intersections, pedestrian crossings, etc. are illuminated. The mode is
active at speeds of 15-50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can respond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is activated gradually
from a speed of 90 km/h. It is most effective at speeds above 120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can reduce
the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers contin-
uously operate for a period of time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deactiva-
ted when the windscreen wipers are switched off for longer than 8 minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds greater than
10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system (driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of the
headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the Maxi DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 29 menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, 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. Drive carefully and visit a
specialist garage as soon as possible.
Note
When the “Tourist light” mode is active, the warning icon flashes for about 10
seconds each time the ignition is switched on.
