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.  
Risk of injury!  
Although the driver´s window has a force limit-  
·
er, it should be closed carefully.
