in the closing area could become trapped.

WARNING
If children operate the side windows they
could become trapped, particularly if they are
left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.
Activate the override feature for the rear side
windows. When leaving the vehicle, always
take the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle.
Side window reversing feature
The side windows are equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts a side window during the
closing process, the side window opens again
automatically. The automatic reversing func-
tion is only an aid and is not a substitute for
your attentiveness to the side window while
it is closing.
G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R
over the last 4 mm of the closing movement
R
during resetting
R
when closing the side window again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing
This means that the reversing function cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area. If someone
becomes trapped, press the switch to open
the side window again.
