-A- Driver's window
-B- Front passenger's window
-C- Rear left window
-D- Rear right window
-S- Safety switch (on vehicles with electric child-proof catches* there are two safety switches Link)
Child lock
When the safety switch -S- Fig. 1 is activated, the symbol in the switch is lit. The following functions are deactivated:
  • The window switches in the rear doors
  • The switches for the sun blind* in the rear window
  • The switches for the electric sun blinds* in the side windows
  • The switch for front passenger's seat adjustment*
WARNING!
  • Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle - even if you only intend to be gone for a short time. This is especially important if children are left in the car. They might otherwise be able to start the engine or use power-operated equipment such as the electric windows - this could lead to injuries. The window switches are only deactivated when the driver's door or the front passenger's door is opened.
  • Always be careful when closing the windows. Careless use of the electric windows can cause severe injuries.
  • When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that nobody is inside the vehicle, as the windows cannot be opened from the inside in an emergency.
Note
  • The driver can also operate the electric sun blinds* for the side windows using the switches -C- and -D-.
  • The windows can be operated for about ten minutes after the ignition has been switched off. The window switches are only deactivated when the driver's door or the front passenger's door is opened.
