Window open/close 35
Window in the front passenger door and the rear doors open/close 35
Force limiter of the power windows 36
Window convenience operation 36
Operational faults 36
ä WARNING
■ If the vehicle is locked from the outside, do not leave anybody in the vehicle
as it is not possible to open the windows from the inside in the event of an
emergency.
■ The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 36. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully! Otherwise
these can cause severe crushing injuries!
■ It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton) S
» Fig. 18 on page 35 when children are
being transported on the rear seats. CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows. ■ In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 163, De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
power windows otherwise the power window mechanism could be damaged. ■ When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times. Note
■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for approx. 10
minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely
once the driver or front passenger door are opened. ■ When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
■ At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
■ The convenience opening of the windows by means of the key in the driver's
lock is only possible within 45
seconds of deactivating or activating the alarm sys-
tem. Ð

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 34.
The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
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 being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-
moved, 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.
The force limiter is only switched off 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. ÐWindow convenience operation

must be activated. Proceed as follows in order to re-establish the function:
› switch on the ignition;
› pull the top edge of the button in the driver's door to close the window;
› release the button;
› pull the relevant button upwards again for approx. 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there to
be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move
back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 36.Ð Panoramic sliding roof
Introductory information
The panoramic sliding roof with sun screen can only be operated with the rotary
switch when the ignition is switched on » Fig. 20 on page 37

If the light comes on automatically, the side lights and low beam as well as li-
cence plate light light up at the same time.
If the automatic driving lamp control is switched on, the light is regulated with
the light sensor in the rear mirror holder. If the light intensity drops below the set
value, e.g when driving during the day into a tunnel, the low beam and the side
lights as well as the licence plate light come on automatically. If the light intensity
increases again, the lights switch off automatically.
Rain lights
If the windscreen wiper is switched on in rain sensor mode for longer than 10
sec-
onds or in permanent wipe mode (position 2 or 3) » page 49 for longer than
15 seconds, the side lights and low beam are switched on automatically. The light
switches off if the windscreen wipe is in operation rain sensor for more than
around 4 minutes or is not switched on in the operation permanent wipe. Note
Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that its functionality is not
impaired or disabled. ÐCornering lights
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 39.
The cornering lights are used to illuminate the curves by means of the cone of
