Description and Operation

Fixed Glass

Fixed window glass is directly glazed to the window opening flange by means of a polyurethane (PU) adhesive bead. In addition to fixing the glass to the opening flange, the adhesive bead also forms a water tight seal around the inner edge of the glass.

All vehicles have a heated rear window, a heated windshield is available as an option.

Titanium variants are installed with blue glass as standard. Privacy glass is an option for all variants on all glass installed rear of the B-pillar.

Moving Glass

Power windows have a one-touch down and a one-touch up function, combined with anti-trap protection, which is active whenever the window is closing. The anti-trap function will automatically deactivate if operated more than twice consecutively. The anti-trap function will reset automatically when the window is closed, after 10 seconds, or if the ignition is switched OFF then ON.

Front power windows are installed as standard.

Global closing of front and rear electrically operated power windows is standard on vehicles equipped with front and rear power windows. Global closing can only be operated by using the remote key.

Vehicles equipped with electrically operated front and rear windows require an initialization process to be carried out on each window motor. The initialization is carried out before the vehicle leaves the production plant. However, the initialization process will need to be carried out again whenever the power supply has been disconnected.

The multiple switch on the driver door incorporates a safety switch which, when operated, prevents the rear windows from being opened by the rear door window switches. However, the rear windows can still be operated from the driver switch.
