Power windows
Opening and closing
The windows are opened and closed
electrically. The switches for all windows are
located on the driver’s door. The switches for
the respective windows are located on the
passenger door and the rear side trim panels.
i
Operating the rear side windows from the
rear is not possible when you activate the
override switch (Y page 63).
Vehicles equipped with the PRE-SAFE
®
system: If the vehicle is in a critical dynamic
driving situation, the front side windows close
until only a small gap remains.
G
Warning!
When opening or closing the windows,
make sure there is no danger of anyone
being harmed by the opening/closing
procedure.
The door windows are equipped with the
express operation and automatic reversal
function. If in express operation mode a
door window encounters an obstruction
that blocks its path, the automatic reversal
function will stop the door window and
open it slightly.
The door windows operate differently when
the switch is pressed and held. See the
“Closing when a window is blocked”
section in this chapter for details.
The closing of the door windows can be
immediately halted by releasing the switch
or, if the switch was pulled past the
resistance point and released, by either
pressing or pulling the respective switch.
The closing of the rear side windows can be
immediately halted by releasing the switch.
Activate the override switch when children
are riding in the back seats of the vehicle.
The children may otherwise injure
themselves, e.g. by becoming trapped in
the window opening.
G
Observe Safety notes, see
page 59.
G
Warning!
Do not keep any part of your body up
against the window pane when opening a
window. The downward motion of the pane
may pull that part of your body down
between the window pane and the door
frame and trap it there. If there is a risk of
entrapment, release the switch and pull it
to close the window.
i
You can also open or close the windows
using the SmartKey, see “Summer opening
feature” (Y page 327) and “Convenience
closing feature” (Y page 327).
i
After switching off the ignition or
removing the SmartKey from the starter
switch, you can operate the windows until
you open a door. If no door was opened you
can operate the windows for up to
5 minutes.
