Pinch protection for windows and
sun curtains
All power windows and sun curtains* have a
pinch protection function that is triggered if
anything blocks them while they are opening
or closing.
If pinch protection is activated, movement will
stop and then retract automatically to approx.
50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it
was blocked (or to full ventilation position).
The vehicle is equipped with several different
types of windows, glass and mirrors. Some of
the windows in the car are laminated.
The windshield has laminated glass. Lamina-
ted glass is also available as on option for
some other glass surfaces. Laminated glass is
reinforced, which provides better protection
against break-ins and improved soundproofing
in the passenger compartment.
The panoramic roof* also has laminated glass.
It is still possible to override pinch protection
when closing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by
pressing and holding down the control in the
same direction.
If there is any problem with the pinch protec-
tion, a rest procedure can be tested.
The symbol shows the windows containing lamina-
ted glass.1

Reset procedure for pinch
protection
If you experience any problems with the elec-
trical functions for the power windows, you
can try to perform a reset.
Power windows
WARNING
Every door has a control panel for the power
windows. The driver's door has controls for
operating all windows and for activating the
child safety locks.
Children, other passengers or objects can
be trapped by the moving parts.
Always operate the windows with cau-
tion.
•
WARNING
Do not allow children to play with the
operating controls.
•
If the starter battery is disconnected, the
function for automatic opening and closing
must be reset to function correctly. A reset
is required in order for the pinch protection
to work.
Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.
•
•
Remember to always cut the current to
the power windows by setting the
vehicle's electrical system to ignition
mode 0 and then taking the remote
key with you when leaving the vehicle.
If the problem persists or if it affects the pan-
oramic roof, contact a workshop2.
Never stick objects or body parts out
through the windows, even if the vehi-
cle electrical system is completely
turned off.

Operating the power windows
WARNING
All power windows can be operated using the
control panel in the driver's door. The control
panels in the other doors can be used to
operate that particular door.
Make sure that no child or other passenger
comes into contact with the windows as
they are closing with keyless closing*.
The power windows have pinch protection. If
there is any problem with the pinch protection,
a rest procedure can be tested.
One way to reduce the pulsating wind
noise heard when the rear windows are
open is to also open the front windows
slightly.
WARNING
Children, other passengers or objects can
be trapped by the moving parts.
Operating the power windows.
Always operate the windows with cau-
tion.
•
Operating manually. Move one of the con-
trols slightly up or down. The power win-
dows go up or down while the control is
held in position.
The windows cannot be opened at speeds
over approx. 180 km/h (ca112 mph), but
they can be closed.
Do not allow children to play with the
operating controls.
•
Operating with automatic controls. Move
one of the controls up or down to its end
position and release it. The window moves
automatically to its fully closed/open posi-
tion.
Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.
•
•
The driver is always responsible for follow-
ing applicable traffic regulations.
Remember to always cut the current to
the power windows by setting the
vehicle's electrical system to ignition
mode 0 and then taking the remote
key with you when leaving the vehicle.
To use the power windows, the ignition must
be in at least mode I or II. After the ignition
has been switched off, the power windows
can be operated for several minutes or until a
door is opened. Only one control can be oper-
ated at a time.
It may not be possible to operate the win-
dows in low temperatures.
Never stick objects or body parts out
through the windows, even if the vehi-
cle electrical system is completely
turned off.

rors. There are also several automatic settings
that can also be connected to the memory

The rearview mirror instead has two sensors -
one pointing forward and one pointing rear-
ward - which work together to identify and
eliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensor
monitors ambient light, while the rearward-
pointing sensor monitors light from the head-
lights of following vehicles.
Adjusting the rearview mirror
dimming function
Adjusting the door mirrors
To improve visibility to the rear, the door mir-
rors need to be adjusted to the driver's height
and seating position. There are several auto-
matic settings that can also be connected to
the memory function buttons for the power
seat*.
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind,
e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles,
could reflect in the rearview mirror and door
mirrors and cause a glare. Use the dimming
function when light from behind is distract-
ing.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-
ped with auto-dim.
Controls used for door mirrors
Auto-dim
If bright light enters the vehicle from behind,
the door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-
dim is always active when the engine is run-
ning, except when reverse gear is engaged.
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a
parking permit, transponder, sunshade or
objects on the seats or in the cargo com-
partment in a way that prevents light from
reaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-
tion in the door and rearview mirrors will
be reduced.
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not
be noticeable immediately but will instead
take effect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect
both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

fully open/closed position. The movement of
both the panoramic roof and the sun curtain is
also stopped if the control in the ceiling is
operated again in the direction opposite that
