Fault with the central locking
If the warning light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then illuminates for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.
A fault in the central locking system means the vehicle doors and the boot lid
cannot be emergency locked or emergency unlocked » page 292. 

Force limiter
Read 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.
DE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.

The switching on/off of the main beam, if necessary, the adaptation of the
headlight, is controlled by a sensor » Fig. 53.
Depending on the equipment, the following system versions can exist.
Light Assist
automatically switches the main beam on/off.
Dynamic Light Assist
automatically adjusts the light cone shape of the front head-
lights in order to prevent dazzling the oncoming and preceding vehicles, while
ensuring the highest possible illumination of the road edges.
If the driving mode Eco » page 240 , Select the driving mode (Driving Mode
