Function of the electric windows with ignition switched off
After the ignition has been switched off, the windows can still be
operated for about ten minutes as long as the driver or passenger
doors are not opened.
The windows on vehicles with central locking can also be closed or
opened from the outside (in cars with a sliding/electric roof you
can only close them). For this purpose, the key must be in the lock
of the driver’s door and held in the locking or open position.

If the window in the driver or passenger door is hindered whilst closing
through stiffness or by an obstacle (roll-back function), the window will
open again immediately.
In this case you can only close the window again after the ignition has been
switched on.

With the electrical range control the headlight settings can be
matched exactly to the load condition of vehicle. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled more than is unavoidable. Atthe same time the correct headlight beam setting provides the
best possible visibility for the driver.
The headlights can only be regulated with the dipped headlights
switched on.
To lower the beams, turn knurled discfrom the basicposition (0)
downwards.

Heated rear window 4
Only works if the engine is running. A lamp in the switch lights up

The heating device of the rear window disconnects automatically
