ARNING
• After closing the rear lid, always
pull up on it to make sure that it is
properly closed. Otherwise it
could open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving.
This is especially important if you
are trav elling with a child sitting
on the additional rear child seat
bench*.
• To help prevent poisonous ex­
haust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle, always keep the rear
lid closed while driving. Never
tra nsport objects larger than
those fitting completely into the
luggage area, because the rear lid
cannot be fully closed. �,
WARNING continued
• Never leave your vehicle unat­
tended especially with the rear lid
left open. A child could crawl into
the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut
becoming trapped and unable to
get out. To reduce the risk of per­
sonal injury, never let children play
in or around your vehicle. Always
keep the rear lid, as well as the ve­
hicle doors, closed when not in
use.
Keep the rear lid locked at all times
to prevent unauthorized access to
the vehicle.
For further information see "Luggage
compartment" on page 88.

Remote rear lid release
�
You can open the rear lid from inside the ve­
hicle. This feature is very useful when, for
example, the lock cylinder in the rear lid has
froze n.
• To unlock rear lid, open driver's door and
press switch in the door pillar (see illustra­
tion).
• To open luggage compartment raise rear
lid. The
remote rear lid release is deactivated
automatically if you lock the rear lid. This en­
ables the driver to lock the luggage
compartment permanently with the key, if
access by other persons is not wanted.
For example, if you should take your vehicle
to a workshop, lock the luggage compart­
ment separately with the master key (lock
in the horizontal position). We recommend
you use the valet key if you have to leave
your vehicle at the workshop. I

• If the power locking system should fail,
you can still open the fuel tank flap in an
emergency, see page 224. Remote

• The remote control system can be af­
fected by other systems operating in the
same frequency range close to the vehicle,
such as mobile telephones, television
broadcas ting stations, etc.
• Do no use the remote control if you are
inside the car, otherwise you may uninten­
tionally lock the vehicle, and then you would
set off the anti-theft alarm when you try to
start the engine or open a door.
If the ignition is switched on, the remote
control system is deactiv ated.
• Reactiv ating remote control.
If you replace a lost key, or if any repair and

AND EQUIPMENT
• Certification
The remote control device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is sub­
ject to the following conditions:
1 - this device may not cause harmful in­
terfere nce, and
2 - this device must accept any interfer­
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesir ed operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible for
ANY RADIO OR TV Interference caused by
una uthorized modifications to this equip­
ment. Such modifications could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment. Anti-theft
alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system triggers an
acoustic alarm and switches on the emer­
genc y flasher if it senses unauthorized inter­
ference with the vehicle.
When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy­
stem monitors and protects the following
parts of the vehicle:
• engine compartment
• luggage compartment
• doors
• factory installed radio
• passenger compartment
• ignition.
The alarm system is switched on or off
whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Simply tum the key to the lock or unlock
position or use the remote control.
The system is activated about 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator
lights on the front door window sills start
flashing. The
horn sounds briefly when the car is
locked to confirm that the alarm system is
operative and that all doors, hood and rear
lid are properly closed. If the hom does not
sound, or the indicator lights do not flash,
check all doors, rear lid and hood and close
them properly. The horn will also sound if
the door, lid and hood are closed when the
system is already switched on.
The rear lid can be opened separately even
when the system is active. When the rear
lid is closed the luggage compartment will
again be included in the alarm circuit.
When the system is switched on the alarm
will be triggered if one of the doors, the en­
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the
ign ition is switched on or the radio re­
moved.
When the alarm is triggered the hom
sounds and all four turn signals flash simul­
taneously. The engine cannot be started un­
til the system is switched off with the key
or the remote control.

CONT
ROLS AND
EQUIPMENT---------------------
If the alarm has sounded one time, and then
the vehicle is forced open again (for exam­
ple, someone tries to forcibly open a door,
and then tries to force open the rear lid), the
signal will sound once again.
You can also trigger the alarm by pressing
the PANIC switch on your remote control
to alert other people in case of emergency
or when in another difficult situation. The
alarm can be switched off by pressing the
PA NIC switch again.
Warn ing lights
After you lock the vehicle, the warning light
on the window sills will blink quickly first for
30 seconds and will then blink slowly. This
is to let you know that the anti-theft alarm
system is activated, including the interior
move ment sensors.
If the warning lights come on continuously
for about 30 seconds instead of flashing
when the vehicle is locked, this indicates
that the interior movement sensor is defec­
tive.
68 Swit
ching off the interior
movement sensors l
Yo u should switch off the interior move­
ment sensors if there is the possibility that
the alarm system could be set off, for exam­
ple by a pet left in the vehicle. •
Press the switch in the door pillar (see il­
lustration). The indicator light in the switch
will come on. The indicator light on the win­
dow sills will come on for approx imately
3 seconds. This verifies that the interior
movement sensors have been deactivat ed.
The sensors will be reactivated when you
unlo ck and lock the vehicle again.
• Lock the vehicle.
The indi cator lights in the doorpillarwill blink
quickly for approximately 3 seconds at first.
Then, after approximately 30 seconds, the
light will flash slowly.
