WARNING

CAUTION

■

If the vehicle is locked from the outside, do not leave anybody in the vehi-

cle as it is not possible to open the windows from the inside in the event of

an emergency.

There is a risk of unwanted entry into the vehicle before the boot lid is locked

automatically. We therefore recommend locking the vehicle with the key sym-

bol  on the remote control key.

The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 53. If there is an obstacle,

the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-

metres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of in-

jury.

Deactivating the electrically operated power windows in the rear doors is

recommended (safety push button) S when children are being transported

Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric

windows.

Should the windows freeze, first remove the ice » page 131, Windows and

exterior mirrors and only then operate the power windows. Otherwise, the

window seal and the power window mechanism could be damaged.

In the winter, ice on the window may cause greater resistance as the win-

opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the

wind noise is more at certain speeds.

overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a

short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the over-

heating protection has cooled down.
