Roll-back function on the electric windows
The electric windows are equipped with a roll-back system that reduces risk
of injury when closing windows.
If an obstacle is present, the closing mechanism will stop and the window
will roll back a few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next 10 seconds, the closing mecha-
nism will once again stop and the window will roll back another few centi-
metres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close the window after it has rolled
back the second time, only the closing mechanism will be stopped even if
the obstacle is still present. The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnected if you once again attempt to
close the window in the following 10 seconds. In this case, the window will
close at full force
.
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-back function will be once again
connected.

Lights Introduction
The location of the controls of right-hand drive cars differs slightly from the
location shown here ⇒ Fig. 54 ⇒ page 97. However, the symbols indicat-
ing the respective positions of the controls remain the same.
WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to illuminate the road ahead and to ensure that other road users
are able to see you. Always use your dipped beam headlights if it is dark
or if visibility is poor.
CAUTION
● Use the lights in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsible for correctly adjusting and
using the lights.
Note
● An audible warning will be heard when the light control is set to and
you remove the ignition key and open the door. Once the driver door is
closed (ignition off), the audible warning will stop, whereas the side lights
will remain on to light up the stationary vehicle if necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the lights may mist up
temporarily on the inside. This is particularly the case in the event of a dif-
ference in temperature between the inside and in front of the light. By
switching on the lights, the area through which the beam of light is projec- ted will quickly be demisted, although the edges may remain misted. The
real lights and turn signals can mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system.
