The windows can be operated electrically from the following locations; all win-
dows from the driver's seat and also via the buttons for the windows in the
passenger door or the rear doors.
WARNING■ Always close the window carefully and in a controlled manner. Otherwise
these could cause severe crushing injuries.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 55. 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.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean (free of ice and similar) to ensure the correct func-
tionality of the electric windows.■
Always close the electric windows before disconnecting the battery.

Force limiter
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
The electric windows are 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 not operational 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 convenience operation
