CAUTION
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
■
windows.
Should the windows freeze, first remove the ice
■
exterior mirrors and only then operate the power windows. Otherwise, the
window seal and the power window mechanism could be damaged.
In the winter, ice on the window may cause greater resistance as the win-
■
dow is closed. The window will stop and open again by several centimetres.
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
■
vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the win-
■
dows for approx. 10 minutes. After the driver's or front passenger's door has
been opened, the windows can only be operated by using
page 52 .
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventila-
■
tion system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are
opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the
wind noise is more at certain speeds.
