If necessary, use the safety switch to disable the rear electric windows.
Make sure that they have been disabled.Note
If the window is not able to close because it is stiff or because of an obstruc-
tion, the window will automatically open again ⇒page 105. If this happens,
check why the window could not be clos ed before attempting to close it
again.One-touch opening and closing
One-touch opening and closing means you do not have to
hold down the button.Automatic closing (only the front side windows)
– Pull up the button for the window briefly to the second position. The window closes fully.
One-touch opening
– Push down the button for the window briefly to the second posi- tion. The window opens fully.
Reset the automatic closing function for the front side windows and
the automatic opening for all windows
– Close all windows. – Use the key to lock the vehicle from outside and hold the key in
the lock position for at least one second. The one-touch function
is now ready for operation.
The buttons ⇒page 104, fig. 68 and have two levels for opening the
window and two for closing it. This makes it easier to open or close windows
to the desired position.
One-touch closing does not work when the ignition has been switched off,
even if the key is in the ignition.
The automatic open and close function wi ll not work if the battery has been
temporarily disconnected, or if the battery is flat. The function then has to be
reactivated.
The one-touch function and roll-back function will not work if there is a
malfunction in the electric windows. Contact an Authorised Service Centre.Roll-back function
The windows have a roll-back function. This reduces the risk
of injuries when the windows are closing.•
If a window is obstructed when closing automatically, the window stops
at this point and lowers immediately ⇒.
•
If this happens, check immediately (within 10 seconds) why the window
could not be closed before attempting to close it again. After 10 seconds the
normal automatic function resumes.
•
If the window is still obstructed , the window stops at this point.
•
If there is no obvious reason why the window cannot be closed, try to
close it again within five seconds.
If you wait longer than 5-10 seconds, the window will open fully when you
operate one of the buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated.

Fuse cover underneath the steering wheel
– Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
– Identify the fuse for the failed component ⇒page 226.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto the blown fuse and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new fuse of the same ampere rating.
Fuse cover in engine compartment
– Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
– Prise off the fuse cover in the engine compartment by pressing the tabs towards the centre of the cover ⇒page 224, fig. 153 .
– Identify the fuse for the failed component ⇒page 226.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover (at left-hand end of the dash panel), fit it onto the blown fuse and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new fuse of the same ampere rating.
– Carefully fit the fuse cover back on to ensure no water can enter the fuse box.The individual electrical circuits are pr otected by fuses. The fuses are located
behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel and on the left-hand
side of the engine compartment.
The electric windows are protected by circuit breakers. These reset automat-
ically after a few seconds when the overload (caused for example by frozen
windows) has been corrected. Colour coding of fuses
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could re
sult in fire. This could also cause
damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
•
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical
system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
•
If you replace a fuse with a stronger fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in the electrical system.
•
Always keep some spare fuses in the vehicle. These are available from
official Service. Colour

Bulb changeGeneral notesBefore changing any bulb first turn off the equipment concerned.
Do not touch the bulb glass. Fingerprints vaporise in the heat, causing a
reduction in the bulb life and condensation on the mirror surface, thus
reducing efficiency.
A bulb should only be replaced by one of the same type. The type is inscribed
on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
It is highly recommended to keep a box of spare bulbs in the vehicle. At the
very least, the bulbs that most affect road safety should have spares in the
vehicle.

Note
•
Due to the difficulty in accessing the lamps, these must be changed by an
Authorised Service Centre. However, the following is a description of how to
change the bulbs except for the fog lights and interior bulbs.
19)For these type of headlights, the bulbs must be changed by an Authorised Service
Centre, given that complex elements of the vehicle must be removed and that the au-
tomatic control system must be reset.20)Xenon bulbs discharge emit 2.5 times as much light flux and have a useful life five
times greater than halogen bulbs.
21)Electronically controlled single filament bulb for Stop/Side bulbs. If the bulb blows
it will not work or Stop position.
