It does have sort of a sensor, if the force to close the window becomes too high and the window is within a certain range towards closing, the door control unit would stop the motor and backup a bit.

This feature (and the "danger" is there anyway if the driver accidentally activates one touch closure of the window.

Sorry but that looks like one of those things that can and will go wrong.

Sorry but I did not understand the comment. Do you mean someone will eventually get hurt from the window closing? But the force it closes is not strong enough to create any injury, mental excluded perhaps.

Or did you assume that the car would eventually suffer somehow? I don't see how.

Yes, I'm looking at the possibility of injuring a child.

Are you saying that if an inquisitive 1 year old stuck his fingers in the window that he wouldn't get injured?

This cannot happen, a kid like this would be in a child seat with belts on if the driver follows the user manual (and common sense). If not, then MB is not liable but the parents.

You can try how hard the window closes before turning back. It isn't completely safe for the fingers of a one year old but then again, all cars do the same, they don't have any cameras or other sensors watching the window.

I'd like to live in your world but unfortunately the world I live in has children that could get out of anything and has electronics that malfunction.

I didn't mean it too seriously when referring to the "MB user manual guidelines". But what do you do with the children at other cars? My point was that all cars with electric window lifters work the same (unless some are even worse and don't have the reverse feature).

I guess you don't take your kids to any car?

The discussion I believe originally was about the feature to open and close all windows from the recirculation button, the feature that I understood was disabled from US cars. Now if you have small kids in the car, would you drive rear windows open and use this feature? My point was that I find it odd that this feature was disabled. But the US liability issues are often difficult for me to understand.

^^^^ I totally agree with you. This is a danger in all cars not just an MB. As far as the law suit is concered, its what iv heard, its not fact. But I can see it happening in the US. Tunnel is still availble elsewhere is it not?

I agree with Diesal on this. A 1yr old strapped in as they should be can not get into this kind of trouble. Maybe a bigger kid is what you meant.

I do not use the feature often myself, never tried it on the W204 but according to the Euro manual, the feature is supported in this model too:

Scroll a bit down and the "convenience closing and opening" function can be found.

I have the REST function on my W204 also. I think it's only the US models that don't have it.

I have the tunnel mode feature in my W204. Just used it this weekend to see if the windows and sunroof closed, and they did. But I normally drive with all of them closed so it is almost useless for me.
I found the Rest function more useful, but is not cold enough here to use it yet.
