Separate switches are located under
the windows in the rear passenger
area.

After the ignition has been switched off:

You can still operate the power
windows for up to 15 minutes, as long
as neither of the front doors has been
opened.

Remove the key from the ignition
lock and close the doors when

you leave the vehicle, so that children
cannot operate the power windows and
possibly injure themselves.

For the convenience operating mode
with the door lock or remote control,

Safety feature

A contact strip is located on the inside
upper frame of each of the windows. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while a window is being raised, the
system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it a small
distance.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that

the closing path of the window is not
obstructed. Otherwise, an object might
not touch the contact strip in some situ-
ations (very thin objects, for instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.
