General
Laminated glassThe glass is reinforced which pro-
vides better protection against
break-ins and improved sound insu-
lation in the passenger compartment.
The windscreen and other windows* have lami-
nated glass.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*Windows are treated with a coating
that improves the view in difficult
weather conditions. Maintenance, see
page 345.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice
from the windows. Use the defroster to
remove ice from the mirrors, see
page 103.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
Areas where IR film is not applied.
Dimensions
A40 mm
B80 mm
The windscreen is equipped with a heat-
reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat
radiation into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such
as a transponder, behind a glass surface with
heat-reflecting film may affect its function and
performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equip-
ment, it should be positioned on the part of thewindscreen with no heat-reflecting film (see the
highlighted area in the above illustration).

WARNING
Make sure that children or other passengers
are not in danger of becoming trapped in
any way when closing the windows, in par-
ticular when the remote control key is used.
WARNING
If there are children in the car - remember to
always switch off the power supply to the
power windows by selecting key position 0
and then take the remote control key with
you when leaving the car. For information on
key positions - see page 81.
Operating
Operating the power windows.
Operating without auto
Operating with auto
All power windows can be operated using the
control panel for the driver's door - the control
panels for the other doors can only each oper-
ate their respective power window. Only one
control panel can be operated at a time.
In order for the power windows to be used the
key position must be at least I - see page 80.
The power windows can be operated for a few
minutes after the engine has been switched off
and after the remote control key has been
removed - although not after a door has been
opened.Closing of the windows is stopped and the
window is opened if anything prevents its
movement. It is possible to override the pinch
protection when closing has been interrupted,
e.g. if there is ice forming. After two successive
closing interruptions the pinch protection will
be forced and the automatic function deacti-
vated for a short while, now it is possible to
close by continually holding the button pulled
up.
NOTE
One way to reduce the pulsating wind noise
when the rear windows are open is to also
open the front windows slightly.
Operating without autoMove one of the controls up/down gently. The
power windows move up/down as long as the
control is held in position.
Operating with autoMove one of the controls up/down to the end
position and release it. The window runs auto-
matically to its end position.
Operating with the remote control key
and central locking
To remotely operate the power windows from
the outside with the remote control key or from
inside with central locking, see pages 48 and
60

The compass is set for the geographic area to
which the car was delivered. The compassshould be calibrated if the car is moved across
several magnetic zones.
1. Stop the car in a large open area free from
steel structures and high-voltage power
lines.

trical equipment (climate control system,
wipers etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
