ABCDE59Unlocking and opening

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.WARNING■ The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 60. 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.■
If 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
.
CAUTION
■ 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.■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.
■
Always close the windows before disconnecting the battery.
Opening the windows in the front passenger door and in the rear
doors
Fig. 44
Power window button
Read and observe and on page 58 first.
There is a button in the front passenger door and in the rear doors for that
window.
Opening›Lightly press the button downwards and hold it until the window has moved
into the desired position.
Releasing the button causes the window to halt immediately.
The window can be completely opened automatically by briefly pressing the
down button as far as the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the
window to stop immediately.
Closing›
Lightly press the button upwards and hold it until the window has moved in-
to the desired position.
Releasing the button causes the window to halt immediately.
The window can be completely closed automatically by briefly pressing the up
button as far as the stop. Releasing the button causes the window to halt im-
mediately.
Force limit
Read and observe
and on page 58 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.

necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions.
Note
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched

the automatic switch on / off the lights corresponding to the light or weather
conditions (rain) takes place.
If the light switch is in position 
, the lettering 
illuminates next to the

Automatic driving light control during rain
The daytime running lights are switched on automatically if the following con-
ditions are met:
The light switch is in the position 
.
The windscreen wipers are on for more than 15 s.
The light turns off about 4 minutes after turning off the wipers.
CAUTION
Poorer visibility is evaluated by a motor mounted below the windscreen in the
holder of the interior mirror sensor. Do not attach any stickers or similar ob-
jects in front of the light sensor on the windscreen in order to avoid impairing
the function or its reliability.
Xenon headlight
Read and observe
on page 64 first.
The Xenon headlight (hereinafter referred to as system) ensures that the
roads are illuminated independent of the traffic and weather conditions.
The system automatically adjusts the light cone in front of the vehicle due to
the driving data (e.g. vehicle speed and load conditions, steering angle, using
the wiper).
The system works as long as the light switch is in position .
The system operates automatically in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam.
City mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adapted so that the adjacent side-
walks, crossings, pedestrian crossings, etc., are also illuminated. The mode is
active at speeds of 15-50 km/h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
spond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is active at
speeds above 120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
duce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 20-70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers con-
tinuously operate for a period of time longer than about 2 minutes. The deacti-
vation of the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the wiper. 
66Using the system

Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km/h and in all system modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
If this mode is activated, there is no automatic cone of light adaptation in front
of the vehicle. When switching on the ignition the warning light 
flashes for
10 seconds.
This mode can be enabled / disabled via the MAXI DOT display in the Travelmode
» page 47 , Menu item
Settings
menu option.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
