Important safety notes
WARNING
When opening or closing the door windows,
make sure that there is no danger of anyone
being harmed by the opening/closing
procedure.
The door windows are equipped with automatic operation and the anti-entrapment feature. If in automatic mode a door window encounters an obstruction that blocks its path, the anti-entrapment feature will stop the door window and open it slightly.
The door windows operate differently when the switch is pulled. See the "Problems with door windows" section for details.
The closing of the door windows can be immediately halted by releasing the switch or, if the switch was pulled past the resistance point and released, by either pressing or pulling the respective switch.
If a door window encounters an obstruction that blocks its path in a circumstance where you are closing the windows by pressing and holding the button on the SmartKey or by pressing and holding the lock button (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO) on an outside door handle, the anti-entrapment feature will not operate.
Activate the override switch when children are riding in the back seats of the vehicle. The children may otherwise injure themselves, e.g. by becoming trapped in the door window opening.
WARNING
Do not keep any part of your body up against
the window pane when opening a window. The
downward motion of the pane may pull that
part of your body down between the window
pane and the door frame and trap it there. If
there is a risk of entrapment, release the
switch and pull it to close the window.
Opening and closing the side windows
1. Front left
2. Front right
3. Rear right
4. Rear left
The switches for all side windows are located on the driver's door. There is also a switch on each door for the corresponding side window.
The switches on the driver's door take precedence.
i The side windows cannot be operated from the rear when the override feature for the side windows is activated.
•► Turn the SmartKey to position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock.
•► To open: press the corresponding switch.
•► To close: pull the corresponding switch.
If you press the switch beyond the point of resistance, an automatic opening/ closing process is started in the corresponding direction. You can stop automatic operation by operating the switch again.
You can continue to operate the side windows after you switch off the engine or remove the SmartKey. This function is available for up to five minutes or until the driver's or front-passenger door is opened.
Convenience opening feature
You can ventilate the vehicle before you start driving. To do this, the key is used to carry out the following functions simultaneously:

roof with power tilt/sliding panel and the
roller sunblinds
- switch on the seat ventilation for the
driver's seat

•► Hold the switch for an additional second.
If the side window opens again slightly:
•► Immediately pull the corresponding switch on the door control panel until the side window is completely closed.

•► If the corresponding side window remains closed after the button has been released, the side window has been reset correctly.
If this is not the case, repeat the steps above again.
Problems with the side windows
Problem: a side window cannot be closed because it is blocked by objects, e.g.
leaves in the window guide.
•► Remove the objects.
•► Close the side window.
Problem: a side window cannot be closed and you cannot see the cause.
WARNING
Closing the side windows with increased force
or without the anti-entrapment feature could
lead to serious or even fatal injury. Make sure
that nobody can become trapped when
closing the side windows.
If a side window is obstructed during closing and reopens again slightly:
•► Immediately after the window blocks, pull the corresponding switch again until the side window has closed.
The side window is closed with increased force.
If a side window is obstructed again during closing and reopens again slightly:
•► Immediately after the window blocks, pull the corresponding switch again until the side window has closed.
The side window is closed without the antientrapment feature.
WARNING
Pulling and holding the switch to close the
door window immediately after it had been
blocked two times will cause the door window
