After the ignition has been switched off:
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that
> You can still operate the power
windows as long as neither of the
front doors has been opened. To
open a window, press the switch
beyond the resistance point.
the closing path of the window is not
obstructed. Otherwise, an object might
not touch the contact strip in some situ-
ations (very thin objects, for instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the pres-
sure point and holding it.
Remove the key from the ignition
key and close the doors when you
leave the vehicle so that children
cannot operate the power windows and
possibly injure themselves.<
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 be sure
that they are not obstructed in any way.
Unsupervised use of these systems can
result in serious personal injury.
Open and close windows
For convenience operation via the door
lock or remote control, refer to page 32
or 34.
In ignition key position 1 and 2:
> Depress the rocker switch until you
feel resistance:
The window continues to move as
long as you maintain pressure on the
switch.
Remove the ignition key to deactivate
the electric power windows whenever
you leave the vehicle. Never leave the
keys in the vehicle with unsupervised
children. Never place anything that
could obstruct the driver's vision on or
next to the windows.<
Safety feature
A contact strip is located on the inside
upper frame of each of the windows. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while a window is being raised, the
system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it a small
distance.
> Press the rocker switch beyond the
resistance point:
The window moves automatically.
Press the switch a second time to
stop the window.
Electric power windows
Sliding/tilt sunroof*
43n
To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt
sunroof and keep it in your field of
vision until it is shut.
Before leaving the vehicle, switch off
the electric sunroof mechanism by
taking out the ignition key. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle with
access to vehicle keys. Use of the key
can result in starting of the engine and
operation of vehicle systems such as
the power sunroof. Unsupervised use
of these systems can result in serious
personal injury.<
Safety switch
Lifting – opening – closing
With the safety switch, you can prevent
the rear windows from being opened or
closed via the switch in the rear
passenger area (by children, for
example).
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, press the switch or slide it to the
desired direction until you feel resis-
tance.
You can avoid pressure or drafts in the
passenger compartment when the
sunroof is open or lifted by opening the
air vents in the dashboard and
increasing the air supply as required.
Refer to page 97.
When lifting, the headliner retracts
several inches.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of
the vehicle. Careless use of the power
windows can lead to injury.<
If the sliding/tilt sunroof is up, then
the headliner cannot be closed.<
If the sunroof is completely open, air
disturbances may be caused in the
vehicle when you are driving at higher
speeds. Close the roof as far as is
necessary until this natural phenom-
enon ceases.
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sunroof as long
as neither front door has been opened.
For convenience operation via the door
lock or remote control, refer to page 32
or 34.
