WINDOWS, GLASS AND MIRRORS
Windows, glass and mirrors
The car contains controls for windows, glass
and mirrors. Some of the windows in the car are
laminated.
Laminated glass
The windscreen and panorama* roof have lamina-
ted glass. The glass is reinforced, which provides
better protection against break-ins and improved
sound insulation in the passenger compartment.
Laminated glass is available as an option for cer-
tain other glass surfaces.
The symbol is shown on the windows where the glass is

laminated

Pinch protection for windows and
sun blinds
All windows and sun blinds* controlled electri-
cally have pinch protection which is deployed if
they are blocked by any object when opening or
closing.
In the event of blocking, the movement stops and
then reverses automatically to approx. 50 mm
(approx. 2 inches) from the blocked position (or
to full ventilation position).
If the pinch protection has deployed then it is still
possible to operate once more in the same direc-
tion without pinch protection, if this is done within
10 seconds after pinch protection deployment. In
other words, it is possible to force pinch protec-
tion when closing has been cancelled, e.g. when
ice is formed, by continuing to press the control
until fully closed.
WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the
automatic opening and closing function must
be reset to work properly. A reset must take
place for pinch protection to work.
