What you should be mindful of

Force limiter

The driver's window has a force limiter.

Operation

If there is an obstacle, the closing process is inter-

rupted and the glass pane retracts by several centi-

metres.

When the windows are open, troublesome

noises may occur at certain speeds.

If the obstacle prevents it from being closed again

for the next 10 seconds, the closing process is inter-

rupted once again and the window moves back sev-

eral centimetres.

Opening

Applies to models with an electric window in the

driver's door.

— Press the control down and the window opens

automatically. Pressing the control again will stop

the opening process.

If you attempt to close the window again within the

next 10 seconds, and the obstacle has not been re-

moved, the closing process will be stopped.

Closing

The force limiter will not operate if you attempt to

close the window again within the next 10 seconds.

The window will now close at full force! If you wait

more than 10 seconds, the force limiter will be

switched on again.

Applies to models with an electric window in the

driver's door.

— Push up the corresponding control until it stops;

the window closes automatically. Pushing the

control up again stops the closing process.

CAUTION

After the ignition is switched off, the windows

can still be opened and closed for about

10 minutes, provided none of the doors is opened.
