dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ig-
nition lock.

on the locked vehicle.
▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶ Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.
▶ Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.

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
