Careless or unsupervised use of the electric windows can cause serious injuries.  
The electric windows should only be opened or closed when you are sure that nobody is in  
their operating area.  
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the vehicle is  
locked. The windows can no longer be opened in an emergency.  
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The windows can still  
be operated using the buttons several minutes after the ignition has been switched off,  
provided that the driver door and front passenger door are not opened.  
When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always  
be deactivated using the safety button so that they cannot be opened or closed.  
NOTICE  
During sudden rain showers, water can enter the vehicle interior via open windows and cause  
damage to the vehicle.  
One-touch opening and closing and the roll-back function will not work if there is a fault  
in the electric windows. Go to a qualified workshop.  
Convenience opening and closing works only when one-touch opening and closing is  
activated for all electric windows.  
Electric window roll-back function  
The roll-back function for the electric windows can reduce the risk of injuries when the windows  
are closing.  
If the window is not able to close because it is stiff or because of an obstruction, the window will  
immediately open again →  
.
Check to see why the window has not closed.  
Try to close the window again.  
If the window closing process is interrupted again, the roll-back function will be disabled for a  
few seconds.  
If the window still cannot be closed, the window stops where it is. To close the window  
without the roll-back function, press the button again within a few seconds →  
.
WARNING  
Closing the electric windows without the roll-back function can lead to severe injuries.  
Always close the window carefully.  
Ensure that nobody obstructs the path of the window, especially if a window is being closed  
when the roll-back function is not active.  
The roll-back function does not prevent fingers or other body parts from being pressed  
against the window frame and sustaining injury.  
The roll-back function is also activated if the convenience closing function on the vehicle  
key is used to close the windows.  
Troubleshooting  
One-touch opening and closing does not work  
One-touch opening and closing is deactivated if the 12-volt vehicle battery has been  
disconnected or discharged while the windows were not fully closed. The function will have to be  
reset.  
Switch on the ignition.  
Close all windows and doors.  
Pull up the button for the window and hold it in this position for a few seconds.  
Let go of the button, then pull it up again and hold it in this position. One-touch opening and  
closing is now ready for operation.  
The one-touch function can be restored for individual windows or for several windows at the  
same time.  
Closing windows without roll-back function  
Attempt to close the window again within a few seconds by holding the button. The roll-back  
function is deactivated in the process!  
If the closing procedure takes longer than several seconds, the roll-back function will be  
reactivated. If it is still stiff or obstructed, the window will stop and open again automatically.  
Please go to a qualified workshop if the window still cannot be closed.
