An audible signal sounds and the height which was originally set is deleted
from the memory, while the basic position of the top lid position is again set.
The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 57 first.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is nec-
essary to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activation means closing
the lid by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in
secured lock.

WARNING■Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehi-
cle. 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 61. If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of in-
jury.
■
Deactivating the electrically operated power windows in the rear doors is
recommended (safety push button)
S
when children are being transported
in the rear seats » Fig. 43 on page 60 .
CAUTION
■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 175 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the elec-
trical 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 win-
dow » page 61 .
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehi-
cle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.Note■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the win-
dows for approx. 10 minutes. After the driver's or front passenger's door has
been opened, the windows can only be operated by using button A
» Fig. 43
on page 60 .
■
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventila-
tion 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.
■
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Re-
peated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to over-
heat. 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.

›
Lightly press the appropriate button down and hold it until the window has
moved into the desired position. Releasing the button causes the window to
stop immediately.
ABCDS60Operation
The window can be completely opened automatically by briefly pressing the
button as far as the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the window
to stop immediately.
Closing›
Pull gently on the top edge of the corresponding button and hold until the
window has moved into the desired position. Releasing the button causes
the window to stop immediately.
The window can also be fully closed automatically by pulling the button up to the stop. Renewed pulling of the button causes the window to stop immedi-
ately.
Safety pushbutton
The buttons for power windows in the rear doors can be deactivated by press-
ing the safety switch

There is a button in the front passenger door and in the rear doors for that
window.
Opening
›
Lightly press the appropriate button down and hold it until the window has
moved into the desired position. Releasing the button causes the window to
stop immediately.
The window can be completely opened automatically by briefly pressing the
button as far as the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the window
to stop immediately.
Closing›
Pull gently on the top edge of the corresponding button and hold until the
window has moved into the desired position. Releasing the button causes
the window to stop immediately.
The window can also be fully closed automatically by pulling the button up to the stop. Renewed pulling of the button causes the window to stop immedi-
ately.
Force limit
Read and observe
and on page 60 first.
The electrical power window system is 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 be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, 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.
Window convenience operation
Read and observe
and on page 60 first.
The convenience operation of the windows offers the possibility of opening orclosing all the windows at once.
Convenience operation can take place in one of the following ways.
61Unlocking and opening

The speed limit for winter tyres can be set in the MAXI DOT display in the
menu item Window op. . » page 45 .
The prerequisite for ensuring that the convenience operating feature correctly
is the automatic opening/closing of all windows is operational.
Convenience opening or closing the window using the key in the driver's lock
is only possible within 45 seconds after locking the vehicle.
The movement of the window is stopped immediately when the key or the re-
spective button is released.
Operational faults
Read and observe
and on page 60 first.
The automatic power windows do not work if the vehicle battery has been dis-connected and connected again while a window was open. The system must
be activated.
Activation sequence:
›
Switch on the ignition.
›
Pull the top edge of the button and close the window.
›
Release the button.
›
Pull the relevant button upwards again for approx. 3 seconds, and keep it
pressed down.
