Problems with the side windows
GWARNING
If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side window
closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing feature is then not active. Parts of the
body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process, release
the switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window.

is reduced as a result.
At low speeds it raises again automatically.
You can also temporarily deactivate auto-
matic lowering. To do so, press the 3
switch. The sliding sunroof raises again auto-
matically.
You can continue to operate the sliding sun-
roof after switching off the engine or remov-
ing the SmartKey from the ignition lock. This
function remains active for five minutes or
until you open a front door.
The sliding sunroof cannot be opened if a roof
carrier is installed. In order to allow ventila-
tion of the vehicle interior, you can raise the
sliding sunroof.
If contact is made with a roof carrier approved
by Mercedes-Benz, the sliding sunroof lowers
slightly but remains raised at the rear.

Roller sunblind reversing feature
The roller sunblind is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the roller sunblind during
the closing process, the roller sunblind opens
again automatically. However, the automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention when closing the roller sunblind.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
Rto soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
Rwhen closing the roller sunblind again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversal
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing the roller sunblind, make sure
that no body parts are in the sweep area.
If somebody becomes trapped:
Rrelease the switch immediately, or
Rpress the switch in any direction during the
