sun curtains
All power windows and sun curtains* have a
pinch protection function that is triggered if any-
thing blocks them while they are opening or
closing.
If pinch protection is activated, movement will
stop and then retract automatically to approx.
50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it was
blocked (or to full ventilation position).
It is still possible to override pinch protection
when closing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by
pressing and holding down the control in the
same direction.
If there is any problem with the pinch protection,
a rest procedure can be tested.
WARNING If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-
tion for automatic opening and closing must
be reset to function correctly. A reset is
required in order for the pinch protection to
work.

dimming function
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind, e.g.
from the headlights of following vehicles, could
reflect in the rearview mirror and door mirrors
and cause a glare. Use the dimming function
when light from behind is distracting.
Auto-dimIf bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the
door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is
always active when the engine is running, except
when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not be
noticeable immediately but will instead take
effect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both
the rearview mirror and door mirrors.
To change the dimming sensitivity level:
1.
Tap Settings in the Top view in the center
display.
2.

Tap My Car Mirrors and Convenience
.
3. Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming ,
select
Normal, Dark or Light.
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors -
one pointing forward and one pointing rearward - which work together to identify and eliminate
glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors
ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor
monitors light from the headlights of following
vehicles.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equipped
with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking
permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on
the seats or in the cargo compartment in a
way that prevents light from reaching the sen-
sors, the auto-dim function in the door and
rearview mirrors will be reduced.
