WARNING Risk of becoming trapped or fatally injured if revers‐
ing protection is not activated
If you close a side window again immediately after it has been
blocked, the side window will close with increased or maximum
force. The reversing function is then not active and body parts may
become trapped.
#
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area.
#
To stop the closing process, release the button or press the
button again to reopen the side window.
If there are no objects or leaves in the window guide preventing the win‐
dow from closing, there may have been a malfunction or an interruption
to the on-board electrical system voltage.

Reset the side windows (
