Operating the windows
You can use the power switches in the door panels to operate the windows. The switches in the driver door can control all of the windows in your car, while both the front and rear passenger switches are limited to controlling their respective windows.
To use the power windows, the ignition needs to be turned on.
Note
The power windows may still work for a few minutes after the car has been switched off. They stop working when you open one of the doors.
Warning
Always consider the safety risks while operating the windows. The car's moving parts can cause injury to children or other occupants, as well as damage to objects.
- Make sure you have a clear view of the windows you operate.
- Do not allow children to play with the window controls.
- Never leave children alone in the car.
- Always switch off the power supply to the power windows by turning the ignition off. Take the key with you when leaving the car.
- Never put an object or body part through an open window, even if the car's electrical system is fully disconnected.
All of the windows have built-in pinch protection to help prevent injuries. Be sure to read the relevant information on pinch protection in its separate section of the manual.
Note
Situations where the windows cannot be opened
- The windows cannot be opened at speeds above approximately 180 km/h (112 mph) but they can be closed.
- At very low temperatures, the windows might freeze in place and you won't be able to operate them.
Use the switches to open or close the windows:
- A slight push or pull allows you to manually operate the window until you release the switch.
- If you push or pull the switch fully, the window automatically moves even if you release the switch. Stop it by moving the switch in the opposite direction.
Tip
Operating all of the windows at the same time
If you're carrying a key, you can open or close all of the windows at the same time by holding a finger against the indentation on the outside of the door handle.
Noise reduction
One way to reduce wind noise when the rear windows are open is to also open the front windows slightly.
Child lock
You can disable the rear window controls. This prevents rear seat passengers from operating the windows.
Note
If automatic window movement or pinch protection isn't working properly, you may need to reset the windows. You can learn how to do this in a separate section of the manual.
