Windows, glass and mirrors  
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

WARNING  
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.

Reset procedure for pinch  
protection  
If you experience any problems with the elec-  
trical functions for the power windows, you

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.  
The power windows have pinch protection. If  
there is any problem with the pinch protection,  
a rest procedure can be tested.  
Children, other passengers or objects can  
be trapped by the moving parts.  
Always operate the windows with cau-  
tion.  
Do not allow children to play with the  
operating controls.  
Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.  
WARNING  
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.  
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.  
Never stick objects or body parts out  
through the windows, even if the vehi-  
cle electrical system is completely  
turned off.  
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.  
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.  
Related information  
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.  
Never stick objects or body parts out  
through the windows, even if the vehi-  
cle electrical system is completely  
turned off.  
It can also be operated using keyless opening*  
with the door handle.

door.  
WARNING  
Locking and unlocking using the remote  
key (p. 244)  
Make sure that no child or other passenger  
comes into contact with the windows as  
they are closing with keyless closing*.  
Rear door – manually operated  
One way to reduce the pulsating wind  
noise heard when the rear windows are  
open is to also open the front windows  
slightly.  
The windows cannot be opened at speeds  
over approx. 180 km/h (ca112 mph), but  
they can be closed.  
The illustration is generic – the design may vary.  
Hook with locking mechanism  
The driver is always responsible for follow-  
ing applicable traffic regulations.  
Pull up the sun curtain and hook it to the  
upper section of the door frame.  
The window can be opened and closed when  
the sun curtain is being used.  
It may not be possible to operate the win-  
dows in low temperatures.

Adjusting the rearview mirror  
dimming function  
The rearview mirror and door mirrors can be  
used to improve the driver's visibility behind  
the vehicle.  
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.  
Activating and deactivating the heated

Rearview mirror  
The rearview mirror can be adjusted manually.  
The rearview mirror is equipped with Home-  
Link*, auto-dim* and compass*.  
Auto-dim  
Door mirrors  
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.  
WARNING  
The door mirror on the passenger side is  
curved to improve visibility. Objects in the  
mirror may appear farther away than they  
actually are.  
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not  
be noticeable immediately but will instead  
take effect after a short period of time.  
The joystick in the drivers' door control panel  
is used to adjust the position of the door mir-  
rors. There are also several automatic settings  
that can also be connected to the memory  
function buttons for the power seat*.  
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect  
both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.  
To change the dimming sensitivity level:

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.  
3. Press the L or R button again. The light in  
Adjusting the door mirrors  
the button will go out.  
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*.  
Automatically folding door mirrors*  
The door mirrors can be automatically folded  
when driving or parking in tight spaces.  
1. Press the L and R buttons at the same  
time.  
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-  
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-  
ped with auto-dim.

2. Release the buttons after about 1 second.  
The mirrors will automatically stop when  
they are completely folded in.  
Open the mirrors by pressing L and R at the  
same time. The mirrors will automatically stop  
when they are completely open.  
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.  
Resetting the mirrors' position  
A mirror that has been moved out of position  
manually (e.g. hit or bumped into) must be  
electrically returned to its normal position for  
automatic folding* to function properly.

The door mirrors can be tilted down to help  
give the driver a better view along the sides of  
the vehicle, e.g. of the curb when parking.

Automatic folding when the vehicle is  
locked*  
The door mirrors can automatically fold in  
when the vehicle is locked and open when the  
vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. If  
the mirrors have been folded in manually, they  
must be folded out manually as well.

sun curtain made of perforated fabric (located  
beneath the glass sections) for extra protec-  
tion in e.g. bright sunlight.  
Please note that the button may need to be  
pressed twice depending on settings. When  
the door mirror is tilted down, the light in the
