Windows, glass and
mirrors
The car contains several different windows,
glass panes and mirrors. A number of these are
laminated, tinted and/or heated.
The windscreen, panoramic roof and side win-
dows have laminated glass. Laminated glass is
reinforced, which provides better protection
against break-ins and improved sound insula-
tion in the passenger compartment.
The symbol is shown on the windows where the
glass is laminated.

IMPORTANT
Avoid using tinted film with a metallised
surface coating on the rear window. This
may disrupt reception as the car's radio
antenna is located inside the window.
Pinch protection for
windows
All power windows in your car have pinch pro-
tection which is deployed if they are blocked by
any object while opening or closing.
In the event of blocking, the movement stops
and then reverses automatically to approx.
50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked posi-
tion (or to full ventilation position).
It is possible to force pinch protection when
closing has been cancelled, e.g. when ice is
formed, by continuing to press the control in one
and the same direction.
If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a
reset sequence can be tested.

WARNING
If the starter battery is disconnected, the
automatic opening and closing function
must be reset to work properly. A reset
must take place for pinch protection to
work.

are always laminated and thus do not have this symbol.
