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
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.
•

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.
•

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

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.

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.
