Pinch protection for windows
- All power windows in your vehicle 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).
- It is still possible to override pinch protection when closing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by pressing and holding down the control in the same direction.
- If there is any problem with the pinch protection, a reset procedure can be tested.
If the 12 V battery is disconnected, the function for automatic opening and closing must be reset to function correctly. A reset is required in order for the pinch protection to work.

Windows, glass, and mirrors
The windshield and panoramic roof* have laminated glass. Laminated glass is reinforced, which provides better protection against break-ins and improved soundproofing in the passenger compartment.
The symbol shows the windows containing laminated glass.(Does not apply to the windshield and panoramic roof*, which are always laminated and therefore do not have this symbol.)
Do not use solar film with a metalized surface on the rear window. This can interfere with reception because the vehicle’s radio antenna is located inside the window.
