The rear window is heated by practically invisible

tungsten threads which are embedded between

the inner and outer pane. Furthermore, all anten-

nae are integrated in the upper third of the rear

window. The external streamlined quality is there-

fore not impeded by bothersome antennae.

Windscreen

● Two-layer, burglar-inhibiting,

heat-insulating, laminated safety glass

● Electric windscreen heating

(optional) with invisible filaments

through an electrically conductive

infrared reflective coating.

● The heated windscreen is switched on and off

using the 'Defrost' button at the

display and operating unit at the front

The high-insulation glazing made of laminated

glass distinguishes itself with its improved reduc-

tion of thermal exposure, however, without influ-

encing permeability to light.

The glazing reduces ultraviolet radiation and

contributes to an improved noise insulation. This

is facilitated by two foils incorporated into the

glazing. The rear and side windows are also

manufactured with thermally-tempered lami-

nated glass with an infrared reflective coating.

This improves safety as laminated glass panes

cannot shatter due to their incorporated safety

foils.

Heating duration depending on

outside temperature:

5 to 0 °C = 2 minutes

-20 °C = 4 minutes

-40 °C = 6 minutes

In order not to overload the on-board network,

the heating is switched off after a specific time-

frame, depending on the outside temperature.
