Power windows
Opening and closing
The door windows and the hinged quarter
windows are opened and closed electrically.
The switches for all door windows and the
hinged quarter windows are located on the
driver’s door control panel. The switches for
the respective door windows are located on
the front passenger door and the rear doors.
The hinged quarter windows can be operated
from the driver’s seat only.
i
Operating the rear door windows from
the rear is not possible when you activate
the override switch (Y page 74).
Vehicles equipped with the PRE-SAFE
®
system: If the vehicle is in a severe skid or is
spinning, the door windows close until only a
small gap remains.

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 door window is blocked”
section in this chapter for details.
The closing of a door window 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 hinged quarter windows
can be immediately halted by pressing or
pulling the switch.
If a window encounters an obstruction that
blocks its path in a circumstance where you
are closing the windows by pressing and
holding button j on the SmartKey or by
pressing and holding the lock button
(vehicles with KEYLESS-GO) on an outside
door handle, the automatic reversal
function will not operate.
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.

Observe Safety notes, see
page 66.

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 127) and “Convenience
closing feature” (Y page 128).
i
After switching off the ignition or
removing the SmartKey from the starter
switch, you can operate the windows until
you open the driver’s or front passenger
door. If no door was opened you can
operate the windows for up to 5 minutes.
