Electric windows

Opening and closing windows

From ignition key position 1:
> Press the switch until the pressure

point is felt: the window continues to
move down for as long as the switch
is operated

> Press the switch beyond the pressure

point: the window will move automat-
ically. Press the switch again to halt
the opening movement.

Close the window similarly by pulling
the switch.

If the car is equipped with electric rear
side windows* there are separate
switches beneath them for the use of
rear seat passengers.

After the ignition is switched off: You
can still operate the electric windows
for up to 15 minutes, unless a front
door was opened.

When leaving the car, always take
out the ignition key and close the

doors, otherwise children, for example,
could operate the electric windows and
possibly injure themselves.

For convenient opening and closure by
the door lock or remote control, see

Anti-trap protection

Each window frame is equipped with a
contact strip located opposite the
upper inside of the window. If pressure
is exerted against this contact strip as
the window closes, the closing action is
interrupted immediately and the win-
dow reopens slightly.

Despite this anti-trap protection,
make sure that the window is

unobstructed when it is closed, since in
extreme cases, for example with very
thin objects, reliable contact with the
strip may not be made.
The anti-trap protection is overridden if
the switch is pulled past the pressure
point and held in this position.

Safety switch*

This prevents the electric rear side win-
dows from being opened and closed at
the switches on the rear doors, for
instance by children.
