Important safety notes

WARNING

While closing the side windows, body parts in

the closing area could become trapped. There

is a risk of injury.

When closing make sure that no parts of the

body are in the closing area. If somebody

becomes trapped, release the switch or press

the switch to open the side window again.

WARNING

If children operate the side windows they

could become trapped, particularly if they are

left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.

Activate the override feature for the rear side

windows. When leaving the vehicle, always

take the SmartKey with you and lock the vehi-

cle. Never leave children unsupervised in the

vehicle.

Side window reversing feature

The side windows are equipped with an auto-

matic reversing feature. If a solid object

blocks or restricts a side window from trav-

eling upwards during the automatic closing

process, the side window opens again auto-

matically. During the manual closing process,

the side window only opens again automati-

cally after the corresponding switch is

released. The automatic reversing feature is

only an aid and is no substitute for your atten-

tion when closing a side window.

WARNING

The reversing feature does not react:

to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-

gers

while resetting

This means that the reversing feature cannot

prevent someone being trapped in these sit-

uations. There is a risk of injury.

Make sure that no body parts are in close

proximity during the closing procedure. If

someone becomes trapped, press the switch

to open the side window again.
