Automatic lowering of the windows

Closed windows in the doors will go down slightly when the vehicle is unlocked, the door handle is

pulled, and after the vehicle key has been removed from the ignition ⇒ꢀ

For vehicles with the single door unlocking function activated, only the window in the driver door

will go down slightly when the vehicle is unlocked from the outside. The window in the passenger door

will also go down slightly if the vehicle is unlocked a second time.

If no doors are opened, the windows will close again after several seconds. The windows will also

close if the door is closed or the vehicle is locked.

The windows can freeze to the seals at low outside temperatures and prevent the windows from going

down when the vehicle is unlocked or the door is opened. Do not open the door if the window does

not go down slightly ⇒ꢀ

ꢀ

Lock the vehicle again.

Remove the ice with deicing spray.

Unlock the vehicle and retry the function.

If necessary, repeat until the windows are fully operational.

One-touch opening and closing

The one-touch feature automatically opens/closes a power window all the way. The window switch

does not have to be held down/up.

For one-touch opening: Press the switch for the window down briefly as far as it goes.

For one-touch closing: Pull the switch for the window up briefly as far as it goes.

Stopping automatic movement: Pull/press the switch again.

Reactivating the one-touch feature

touch feature will not work and must be reactivated:

Pull the switch for the respective window up and hold it for at least 2 seconds in this position.

Release the switch, pull up and hold again. The one-touch feature is now reactivated.

Convenience closing

The convenience closing feature lets you close the windows and the power sunroof from outside the

vehicle as follows:

ꢀ

Manual locking: lock the vehicle with the vehicle key bit in the driver door and keep the key turned

in the locking position to close all windows and the power sunroof..

Vehicles with Keyless Access: hold your finger on the lock sensor surface on the outside of the

ꢀ

door handle for a few seconds until the windows and power sunroof close.

Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power sunroof.

dows for several minutes after the ignition is switched off as long as the driver or passenger

seals could be damaged when opening the doors.
