Pinch protection for windows and

sun curtains

All windows and sun curtains

* that are controlled

electrically have a pinch protection function that
is triggered if anything blocks them while they
are opening or closing.

If pinch protection is activated, movement will
stop and then retract automatically to approx.
50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it was
blocked (or to full ventilation position).

If pinch protection has been triggered, it is still
possible to operate the window or sun curtain
once more in the same direction without pinch
protection, if this is done within 10 seconds after
pinch protection has been triggered. It is thus still
possible to override pinch protection when clos-
ing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by pressing and
holding down the control until the window or sun
curtain is fully closed.

WARNING

If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-

tion for automatic opening and closing must

be reset to function correctly. A reset is

required in order for the pinch protection to

work.

Does not apply to windshield and panoramic roof

*, which are always laminated and therefore do not have this symbol.

Adjusting the rearview mirror

dimming function

Bright light entering the vehicle from behind, e.g.
from the headlights of following vehicles, could
reflect in the rearview mirror and door mirrors
and cause a glare. Use the dimming function
when light from behind is distracting.

Auto-dim

If bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the
door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is
always active when the engine is running, except
when reverse gear is engaged.

When the level of sensitivity is changed, this
change will not be noticeable immediately but
will instead take effect after a short period of
time.

The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both
the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

Light

The rearview mirror instead has two sensors -
one pointing forward and one pointing rearward -
which work together to identify and eliminate

glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors
ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor
monitors light from the headlights of following
vehicles.

For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equipped
with auto-dim.

Rearview/door mirrors (p. 157)

If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking
permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on
the seats or in the cargo compartment in a
way that prevents light from reaching the sen-
sors, the auto-dim function in the door and
rearview mirrors will be reduced.
