Laminated glass
The glass is reinforced which pro-
vides better protection against
break-ins and improved sound insu-
lation in the passenger compartment.
03
The windscreen and other windows* have lami-
nated glass.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*
Windows are treated with a coating
that improves the view in difficult
weather conditions. Maintenance, see
page 266.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice
from the windows. Use the heating to
remove ice from the door mirrors.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
Areas where IR film is not applied.
The windscreen is equipped with a heat-
reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat
radiation into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such
as a transponder, behind a glass surface with
heat-reflecting film may affect its function and
performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equip-
ment, it should be positioned on the part of the
windscreen with no heat-reflecting film (see the
highlighted area in the previous illustration).
Power windows
Driver's door control panel.
Switch for electric child safety locks* and

WARNING
Check that none of the rear seat passengers
is in danger of becoming trapped in any way
when closing the windows from the driver's
door.
