the luggage compartment lid open
(coupe; roadster with closed convert-
ible top):
>
Close all windows. On the coupe,
close the sunroof.
>
Increase the air supply of the heating
and ventilation system to a high level.

After the ignition has been switched off:
Actuation is still possible for up to
15 minutes in ignition key position 0 or
if the ignition key has been removed, as
long as no doors have been opened.
Because the power windows are
sealed at high pressure to prevent
wind noise when closed, a powerful
motor is required for efficient closing.
When closing the windows, always en-
sure that they are not obstructed in any
way. Unsupervised use of these sys-
tems can result in serious personal in-
jury. Remove the ignition key to deacti-
vate the electric power windows when-
ever you leave the car. Never leave the
keys in the car with unsupervised chil-
dren.
Never place anything that could ob-
struct the driver's vision on or next to
the windows.
