Opening and closing electric windows Introduction
WARNING
● When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that nobody is
inside the vehicle, as the windows cannot be opened from the inside in
an emergency.
● For safety reasons, use the safety button S
⇒ Fig. 53 that deacti-
vates the window switches in the rear doors when children are travelling
in the rear seats.
CAUTION
● Keep the windows clean to ensure the system operates correctly.
● Defrost ⇒ page 175, Windows and exterior mirrors any frozen windows
before use. Risk of damaging the electric window riser mechanism.
● Always make sure all of the windows are closed on leaving the locked
vehicle.
Note
● The vehicle heating and ventilation system should be used to ventilate
the interior while driving. Leaving the windows open could allow dust and
other dirt to enter the vehicle and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high speeds, as this will overly
increase fuel consumption. 

Lights and visibility
Lights and visibility
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.
