What you should be mindful of

NOTICE

Risk of damage to the strip, the door and the body!

Window - with electrical operation

What you should be mindful of

Do not open the door too hastily or abruptly.

▶

Do not hold the door on the strip when opening

and closing, as the strip must be able to move in

and out freely.

▶

Force limitation

If the strip prevents the door from closing freely,

do not close the door forcefully! Remove the strip,

and seek the help of a specialist garage.

▶

To reduce the risk of pinch injuries when closing the

windows, the vehicle has a force limiter.

If there is an obstacle, the window closing process is

stopped and the pane retracts by several centime-

tres.

Usage

If the obstacle prevents it from being closed for the

next 10 seconds, the closing process is interrupted

once again and the window goes down by several

centimetres.

Depending on the equipment, the doors can each be

provided with a protective strip. This moves out

when opening the door and protects the central area

of the door edge from damage.

If you attempt to close the window again within

10 seconds of the window being moved down for

the second time, even though the obstacle was not

yet been removed, the closing process is only stop-

ped. During this time, it is not possible to automati-

cally close the windows by pulling the button all the

way. The force limiter is, however, switched on.

When the door closes the protective strip retracts.

Self help

Replace damaged strip

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

The force limiter is only not operational if you at-

tempt to close the window again within the next

10 seconds – the window will now close with full

force! If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force

limiter is switched on again.

Be careful when handling the strip.

Sliding/tilting roof

What you should be mindful of

Force limiter

To reduce the risk of pinch injuries when closing the

tilt/slide sunroof, the vehicle has a force limiter.

After moving the switch to position B , the slid-

ing / tilting roof opens into the low-noise position (at

a speed of approximately 80 km / h).

After another shift to position B , the sliding / tilting

roof opens completely.

If there is an obstacle, the glass panel closing proc-

ess is stopped and the pane retracts by several cen-

timetres.

If the obstacle is not removed, the force limiter will

be disabled during the third closing attempt. The

sliding/tilting roof will then close with full force.

After switching oﬀ the ignition, the sliding / tilt-

ing roof can be operated for about 10 minutes as

long as none of the doors are opened.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Easy operation of the sliding / tilting roof

The comfort operation makes it possible to lock the

sliding/tilting roof with the key if necessary.

Close the sliding/tilting roof carefully, even though

there is a force limiter.
