Electric windows
Opening and closing windows
From ignition key position 1
>
Press the switch as far as the detent
point: the window continues to move
down for as long as the switch is
operated
>
Press the switch beyond the detent
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 win-
dows for up to 15 minutes, unless a
front door was opened and closed in
the meantime.
When leaving the car, always take
out the ignition key and close the
doors, so that children cannot operate
the electric windows and possibly injure
themselves.

For convenient opening and closure by
the remote control or door lock, see
pages 32 and page 34.
Protective function
There is a contact strip on the inside
along the top edge of each window
frame. If the contact strip is com-
pressed as the window closes, the
closing action is interrupted immedi-
ately and the window reopens slightly.
Despite this protective function,
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 protective function can be overrid-
den by pulling the switch past the stop
and holding it down.
<
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.
Always press the childproof safety
switch when children are on the
rear seat. Careless closure of electric
windows can cause injury.
