Problems with the side windows
G WARNING
If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side window
closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing feature is then not active. Parts of the
body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process, release
the switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window.
Problem
A side window cannot
be closed because it is
blocked by objects, e.g.
leaves in the window
guide.
A side window cannot
be closed and you can-
not see the cause.

cover or stow heavy objects there. You will
