Windows, glass and mirrors  
Pinch protection for windows and  
sun blinds  
All power windows and sun blinds* have  
pinch protection which is deployed if they are  
blocked by any object while opening or clos-  
ing.  
In the event of blocking, the movement stops  
and then reverses automatically to approx.  
50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked  
position (or to full ventilation position).  
The car contains several different windows,  
glass panes and mirrors. Some of the win-  
dows in the car are laminated.  
The windscreen has laminated glass, and lami-  
nated glass is available as an option for certain  
other glass areas. Laminated glass is rein-  
forced, which provides better protection  
against break-ins and improved sound insula-  
tion in the passenger compartment.  
The panoramic roof* also has laminated glass.  
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.  
The symbol is shown on the windows where the  
glass is laminated1.

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.

Reset sequence for pinch  
protection  
If a problem occurs with the electrical func-  
tions for the electric windows, a reset  
sequence can be tested.  
Power windows  
WARNING  
Each door has a control panel for the electri-  
cally-driven power windows. The driver's  
door has controls for operating all windows  
and also to activate the child safety locks.  
Children, other passengers or objects may  
be trapped by the moving parts.  
Always operate the windows with cau-  
tion.  
WARNING  
Do not allow children to play with the  
controls.  
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.  
Never leave children alone in the car.  
Remember to always switch off the  
power supply to the power windows  
by setting the car's electrical system in  
ignition position 0, and then take the  
key with you when leaving the car.  
If a problem persists, or if it concerns the pan-  
oramic roof, contact a workshop2.  
Never put an object or part of the body  
through the windows, even if the car's  
electrical system is fully disconnected.  
Reset the power window

Operating power windows  
WARNING  
Using the driver's door control panel, all  
power windows can be operated - using the  
control panels in the other doors operates the  
power window in the individual door.  
Check that children or other passengers  
are not at risk of crushing when all the win-  
dows are closed with a remote control key  
or keyless opening* with a door handle.  
The power windows are equipped with pinch  
protection. If any fault arises with the pinch  
protection, a reset sequence can be tested.  
One way to reduce the pulsating wind  
noise when the rear windows are open is  
to also open the front windows slightly.  
WARNING  
Children, other passengers or objects may  
be trapped by the moving parts.  
Operating the power windows.  
Always operate the windows with cau-  
tion.  
Operating without auto. Move one of the  
controls gently up or down. The power  
windows move up or down as long as the  
control is held in position.  
The windows cannot be opened at speeds  
above approx. 180 km/h (approx.  
112 mph), but they can be closed.  
Do not allow children to play with the  
controls.  
Operating with auto. Move one of the con-  
trols up or down to the end position and  
release it. The window runs automatically  
to its end position.  
Never leave children alone in the car.  
The driver always bears responsibility for  
following traffic regulations in force.  
Remember to always switch off the  
power supply to the power windows  
by setting the car's electrical system in  
ignition position 0, and then take the  
key with you when leaving the car.  
In order for the power windows to be used,  
the ignition position must be I or II. The power  
windows can be operated for a few minutes  
after the car has been switched off and after  
the ignition has been switched off - although  
not after a door has been opened. It is only  
possible to operate one control at a time.  
It may not be possible to operate windows  
at low temperatures.  
Never put an object or part of the body  
through the windows, even if the car's  
electrical system is fully disconnected.

WINDOWS, GLASS AND MIRRORS  
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-  
matic dimming, the interior rearview mirror  
must also be equipped with automatic dim-  
ming.  
Adjusting rearview mirror dimming  
Automatic dimming*  
Bright light from behind is automatically  
dimmed by the interior rearview and door mir-  
rors. Automatic dimming is always active  
while driving, apart from when gearbox  
reverse position is selected.  
Bright light from behind could be reflected in  
the rearview mirrors and dazzle the driver.  
Use dimming when disturbed by light from  
behind.  
Manual dimming  
The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed  
with a control in the mirror's lower edge.  
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking  
permits, transponders, sun visors or  
objects in the seats or in the cargo area in  
such a way that light is prevented from  
reaching the sensors, then the dimming  
function of the interior rearview and door  
mirrors is reduced.  
When sensitivity is changed there is no  
immediately noticeable change in dim-  
ming, but the change takes place gradu-  
ally.  
Dimming sensitivity will affect both the interior  
rearview mirror and the door mirrors.

The interior rearview mirror contains two sen-  
sors - one forward facing and one rearward  
facing - that work together to identify and  
eliminate dazzling light. The forward facing  
sensor detects ambient light, while the rear-  
ward facing sensor detects the light from vehi-  
cle headlights behind.  
2. Return to normal mode by moving the  
control towards the windscreen.  
The control for manual dimming is not availa-  
ble on mirrors with automatic dimming.
