Operational faults
The electrical power windows can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The electrical power windows are only switched off com-
pletely once the driver's door or front passenger door are opened.
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
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.

electrical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical pow-
er window mechanism could be damaged.

times.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If
this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You
will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection
has cooled down.
