Driving Tips
Note

After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for a
further 10 minutes. During this time the automatic closing and opening functions of
the window will operate. The power windows are switched off completely once you
open the driver or front passenger door.

If the child safety lock is switched on, the lighting of the switch for the window lifter
in the rear doors* is not activated.
Force limiter of the power windows
The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the
risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by
several centimeters.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds, the
closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by several
centimeters.
You must try to close the window once again within 10 seconds after the window has
gone down twice, even if the obstacle was not yet removed, the closing process is
stopped. During this time it is not possible to automatically close the window. The
force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off, if you attempt to close the window within the next
10 seconds - the window closes now with full strength!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING
You should take particular care when closing the windows! You may otherwise
suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in the
window!
