Operating the power windows

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 reset procedure can be tested.

 Warning

Children, other passengers or objects can be trapped by the moving parts.

  • Always operate the windows with caution.
  • Do not allow children to play with the operating controls.
  • 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 key with you when leaving the vehicle.
  • Remember to always cut the current to the power windows by removing all keys from the vehicle when leaving the driver's seat. Note that if the vehicle's software is not updated to version 1.101 or later, the power windows could be reactivated through the center display or by the driver's seat being occupied even if the keys are not in the vehicle.
  • Never stick objects or body parts out through the windows, even if the vehicle electrical system is completely turned off.

It can also be operated using keyless opening* with the door handle.

 Warning

Make sure that no child or other passenger comes into contact with the windows as they are closing with keyless closing*.

 Note

One way to reduce the pulsating wind noise heard when the rear windows are open is to also open the front windows slightly.

 Note

The windows cannot be opened at speeds over approx. 180 km/h (ca 112 mph), but they can be closed.

The driver is always responsible for following applicable traffic regulations.

 Note

It may not be possible to operate the windows in low temperatures.
