Automatic locking
41WARNING■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even it
was locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases may
get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the luggage compartment lid,
it could crack – risk of injury!
CAUTION

The function of the button in the grip above the licence plate is deactivated when
starting off or at a speed of 5 km/hour or more for vehicles with central locking.
The function is restored after the vehicle stops and the door is opened.
40Using the system

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.WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 43. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton)
S
» Fig. 21 on page 42 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 191 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the electrical
power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power window mechanism could be damaged.
■
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 43.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If
this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You
will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection
has cooled down.
