Side windows
Important safety notes
GWARNING
While opening the side windows, body parts
could become trapped between the side win- dow and the door frame as the side window
moves. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that nobody touches the side win-
dow during the opening procedure. If some-
body becomes trapped, release the switch or pull the switch to close the side window again.

GWARNING
While closing the side windows, body parts inthe closing area could become trapped. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area. If somebody
becomes trapped, release the switch or press
the switch to open the side window again.
GWARNING
If children operate the side windows they
could become trapped, particularly if they are left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.
Activate the override feature for the rear side
windows. When leaving the vehicle, always
take the SmartKey with you and lock the vehi-
cle. Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle.
Side window reversing feature
The front side windows are equipped with an automatic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts one of the front side win-
dows from traveling upwards during the auto-
matic closing process, the side window opens
again automatically. During the manual clos-
ing process, the side window only opens
again automatically after the corresponding
switch is released. However, the automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention when closing a side window.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R while resetting
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure. If
someone becomes trapped, press the switch to open the side window again.

MAGIC SKY CONTROL
General notes
MAGIC SKY CONTROL is a glass roof, the
transparency of which can be changed by
applying electrical voltage.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL can be switched
between darkened and transparent states.
iMAGIC SKY CONTROL darkens automat-
ically after a short period when you turn the SmartKey to position 0or remove it.
Risk of electric shock
GDANGER
MAGIC SKY CONTROL operates using high
voltage. If the headliner behind the panorama
roof is damaged or removed, electrical com-
ponents will be exposed. If you touch these
components, you could get an electric shock.
There is a risk of fatal injury. R Never remove the headliner behind the
panorama roof.
R If the headliner is damaged, never touch the
electrical components behind it.
R Always have work on the MAGIC SKY CON-
TROL carried out at a qualified specialistworkshop. The high-voltage components of MAGIC SKY
CONTROL are protected behind the head-liner.
The MAGIC SKY CONTROL voltage trans-
former is stamped with a high-voltage sym-
bol, warning you about the high voltage. The
electric cables of the high-voltage section are
color orange.
Operating MAGIC SKY CONTROL
X Turn the SmartKey to position 1or 2in the
ignition lock ( Ypage 115).
