Opening and closing
The door windows are opened and closed
electrically. The switches for all door windows
are located on the driver’s door control panel.
The switches for the respective door windows
are located on the front passenger door and
on the rear doors.

the rear is not possible when you activate
the override switch (

Warning!
When opening or closing the door windows,
make sure there is no danger of anyone
being harmed by the opening/closing
procedure.
The door windows are equipped with the
express operation and automatic reversal
function. If in express operation mode a
door window encounters an obstruction
that blocks its path, the automatic reversal
function will stop the door window and
open it slightly.
The door windows operate differently when
the switch is pressed and held. See the
“Closing when a door window is blocked”
section in this chapter for details.
The closing of the door windows can be
immediately halted by releasing the switch
or, if the switch was pulled past the
resistance point and released, by either
pressing or pulling the respective switch.
If a door window encounters an obstruction
that blocks its path in a circumstance
where you are closing the door windows by
pressing and holding button
j
on the
SmartKey or by pressing and holding the
sensor surface (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO)
on an outside door handle, the automatic
reversal function will not operate.
Activate the override switch when children
are riding in the back seats of the vehicle.
The children may otherwise injure
themselves, e.g. by becoming trapped in
the door window opening.
G
Observe Safety notes, see
page 59.

Warning!
Do not keep any part of your body up
against the window pane when opening a
window. The downward motion of the pane
may pull that part of your body down
between the window pane and the door
frame and trap it there. If there is a risk of
entrapment, release the switch and pull it
to close the window.
i You can also open or close the door
windows using the SmartKey, see
“Summer opening feature” (
Y
page 111)
and “Convenience closing
feature” (
Y
page 111).
i After switching off the ignition or
removing the SmartKey from the starter
switch, you can operate the door windows
until you open the driver’s or front
passenger door. If no door was opened you
can operate the door windows for up to
5 minutes.
