Operating

P5-Icon red arrow 1 — Operating the power windows.

Using the driver's door control panel, all power windows can be operated - using the control panels in the other doors can only operate the power window in the individual door. Only one control panel can be operated at a time.

In order for the power windows to be used, the ignition position must be at least I. 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.

Closing of the windows is stopped and the window is opened if anything prevents its movement. It is possible to override the pinch protection when closing has been interrupted, e.g. if ice has formed on the window. After two successive closing interruptions the pinch protection will be overridden and the automatic function deactivated for a short while, now it is possible to close by holding the button in its raised position.

Note

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

Note

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

Operating without auto

Move one of the controls up/down gently. The power windows move up/down as long as the control is held in position.

Operating with auto

Move one of the controls up/down to the end position and release it. The window runs automatically to its end position.

Operating with the remote control key, door handle or central locking button

To control the power windows from the outside with the remote control key or door handle, or from the inside with the central locking button, see the section "Remote control key", "Locking/unlocking from the outside" or "Locking/unlocking from the inside".

Resetting

If the starter battery is disconnected then the function for automatic opening must be reset so that it can work correctly.

Gently raise the front section of the button to raise the window to its end position and hold it there for one second.

Release the button briefly.

Raise the front section of the button again for one second.

Warning

A reset must take place for pinch protection to work.
