When the buttons are disabled in the rear doors, the warning light  in the
button E lights up.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for approx. 10 minutes.
After the driver's or passenger's door is opened the operation of the window is
only possible with the button A
» Fig. 48 , in which case they have to be press-
ed or pulled for approx. 2 seconds.
The window lift mechanism is equipped with protection against overheating.
Repeated 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 over-
heating protection has cooled down.
WARNINGIf the rear seats are accommodating people who are not completely inde-
pendent, e.g. children, it is recommended that for safety reasons the but-
tons in the rear doors are disabled with the button E
.

There is a button in the front passenger door and in the rear doors for that
window.
Opening
›
Lightly press the button down and hold it until the window has moved into
the desired position.
Releasing the button causes the window to halt immediately.
The window can be completely opened automatically by briefly pressing the
button as far as the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the window
to stop immediately.
Closing›
Pull gently on the top edge of the button and hold until the window has
moved into the desired position.
Releasing the button causes the window to halt immediately.
The window can also be fully closed automatically by pulling the button up to the stop. Renewed pulling of the button causes the window to stop immedi-
ately.
Force limit
Read and observe
and on page 62 first.
The electrical power window system is 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 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.

CAUTION
Poorer visibility is evaluated by a motor mounted below the windscreen in the
holder of the interior mirror sensor. Do not attach any stickers or similar ob-
jects in front of the light sensor on the windscreen in order to avoid impairing
the function or its reliability.
Xenon headlight
Read and observe
on page 67 first.
The xenon headlight (hereinafter referred as system) ensures that the roads
are illuminated independent of the traffic and weather conditions.
The system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle based
on the driving information (such as vehicle speed and loading situation, use of
the windscreen wipers, selected driving profile, vehicle position according to
the data from Infotainment navigation).
The system works as long as the light switch is in position .
The system operates automatically in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam.
City mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that it also illuminates
the adjacent pavements, crossings, pedestrian crossings etc. The mode is ac-
tive at a speed of 15-50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
spond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is active at
speeds above 110 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
duce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 50 – 90 km/h and if the windscreen wipers
continuously operate for a period of time longer than about 2 minutes. The de-
activation of the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the wip-
er. 
69Lights and visibility

Fog mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver is not
dazzled by the reflection of the cone of light by fog in front of the vehicle.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the rear fog light is switch- ed on for a period of time longer than about 10 seconds. The deactivation of
the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the rear fog lights.
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 System modes.
travel mode
If the travel mode is activated, there is no automatic cone of light adaptation
in front of the vehicle.
The travel mode can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment » Owner´s
Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - vehicle settings .
Economy mode
When the Eco driving mode » page 171 is activated the system is in Economy
mode and there is no direction dependent light cone adaptation in front of the
vehicle.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. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.Front and rear fog lightsFig. 57

on page 67 first.
When driving in countries with opposing traffic system (traffic on the
left/right), your headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. In order to avoid this,
the headlights must be adjusted at a specialist garage.

The headlamp assistant (following as system) can prevent the dazzling of oth-
er road users.
The system automatically switches the high beam on / off, if necessary, ad-
justs the beam of the headlights in accordance with the existing traffic (other
vehicles) and environmental conditions (e.g. driving through a lighted village).
The switching on / off of the high beam, if necessary adaptation of the head-
lamp is controlled by a camera » Fig. 59.
Depending on the equipment, the following system versions can exist. ▶

▶
Dynamic Light AssistLight Assist
The system automatically switches the high beam on / off.
Dynamic Light Assist
The system automatically adjusts the light cone shape of the headlights in or-
der to prevent the dazzling oncoming and preceding vehicles, while ensuring
the highest possible illumination of the road edges. 
72Using the system

In the following cases, the automatic adjustment of the cone of light of the
headlights is disabled, the system automatically switches only the high beam
on/off.

mode(Driving Mode Selection) .
▶ The driving mode Travel mode is selected » page 70, travel mode .
In the following case the Dynamic Light Assist
is disabled.
▶ The system is in rain or fog mode » page 69, Xenon headlight .
WARNINGThe system only serves as a support and does not relieve the driver of his
or her responsibility to check the headlights and low beam and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the lights depending on the light conditions. The manual
operation may be required for example, in the following situations.■
When visibility is poor, e.g. fog, heavy rain, or thick snowfall.
■
Passing poorly lit road users, e.g. cyclists or pedestrians.
■
When driving around “sharp” bends.
■
Driving through poorly-lit locations.
■
