The windscreen has laminated glass, and laminated glass is available as an option for certain other glass areas.(Applies to certain models.) Laminated glass is reinforced, which provides better protection against break-ins and improved sound insulation in the passenger compartment.
The symbol is shown on the windows where the glass is laminated.(Does not apply to the windscreen, which is always laminated and thus does not have this symbol.)
Pinch protection for windows and sun blinds
- All power windows and sun blinds have pinch protection which is deployed if they are blocked by any object while opening or closing
- In the event of blocking, the movement stops and then reverses automatically to approx. 50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked position (or to full ventilation position).
- It is possible to force pinch protection when closing has been cancelled, e.g. when ice is formed, by continuing to press the control in one and the same direction.
- If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a reset sequence can be tested.
Warning
If the starter battery is disconnected, the automatic opening and closing function must be reset to work properly. A reset must take place for pinch protection to work.
