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

For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto- dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-ped with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade orobjects on the seats or in the cargo com-partment in a way that prevents light fromreaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-tion in the door and rearview mirrors willbe reduced.
