opened.
WARNING■ Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases
may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!■
Make sure that when closing the boot lid, no body parts are crushed -
there is danger of injury!

Stand with the vehicle key centred on the rear bumper.
›
Ensure that no one is standing within the opening range of the lid.
›
Move one foot in the sensor area below the rear bumper quickly in the direc-
tion of the arrow » Fig. 47.
The stop lamp in the rear lid illuminates and the lid opens automatically.
If the lid does not open, then repeat opening after a few seconds.
The function can be enabled/disabled in the Infotainment » Owner´s Manual
Infotainment , chapter CAR - vehicle settings .
We recommend that the function is deactivated in the following cases
▶ Installation of a roof rack.
▶ Coupling a trailer.
▶ Manual vehicle wash.
▶ Maintenance and repairs in the opening area of the boot lid.
When connecting a device to the trailer socket the deactivation of the function
takes place.
WARNINGWhen you open the boot lid make sure that there are no persons in the
opening area of the lid - there is a danger of injury!
Note
With heavy rain or dirty rear bumper it may occur under certain circumstances
that there may be limitations, or the automatic deactivation of the non contact
opening function of the boot lid may occur.

Malfunctions
64
The windows in the doors can be operated electrically by means of the buttons
contained in the doors.
WARNINGThe system is fitted with a force limiter » page 63. 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.
CAUTION
■ If windows are frozen, always remove ice » page 196, Windows and external
mirrors before operating the electrical power windows. The window seals and
the electrical power window mechanism can otherwise 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 lim-
iter to close the window » page 63.
■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.
■
Always close the windows before disconnecting the battery.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
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 and other dirt can get into the vehicle and the wind noise is more at cer-
tain speeds.Opening/closing the windowsFig. 48

ABCDE62Using the system
When the buttons are disabled in the rear doors, the warning light in the
button E lights up.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for approx. 10 minutes.
After the driver's or passenger's door is opened the operation of the window is
only possible with the button A
» Fig. 48 , in which case they have to be press-
ed or pulled for approx. 2 seconds.
The window lift mechanism is equipped with protection against overheating.
Repeated 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 over-
heating protection has cooled down.
WARNINGIf the rear seats are accommodating people who are not completely inde-
pendent, e.g. children, it is recommended that for safety reasons the but-
tons in the rear doors are disabled with the button E
.

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 62 first.
The electrical power window system is fitted with a force limiter.
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 comfort operation
