Luggage compartment lid The lock Only the master keys (refer to page 32)
fit in the lock for the luggage compart-
ment lid.462de273
To secure separatelyTurn the master key to the right past the
resistance point and then pull it out in
the horizontal position.
This locks the luggage compartment lid
and disconnects it from the central
locking system. If you surrender only
the door and ignition key, for valet
parking, for instance (refer to page 32),
this will prevent unauthorized access to
the luggage compartment.46cde001462de274

If the luggage compartment lid has not
been locked separately, you can open it
with this button in the footwell on the
driver's side when the vehicle is
stationary.460de011
ClosingThe handle recesses in the interior trim
panel of the luggage compartment lid
(arrows) make it easier to pull the lid
down.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage
compartment lid is clear when it is
closed, as with all closing procedures.<460de067
Do not drive with the luggage
compartment lid open, since
exhaust fumes could penetrate the inte-
rior of the vehicle. Should it be abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open:
>Close all windows and the sliding/tilt
sunroof
as well.
>Increase the air supply for the air
conditioner or automatic climate
control to a high level. Refer to
page 90 or 96.<

Alarm system
*
The conceptThe vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood or the
luggage compartment lid is opened.
>To movement inside the vehicle
(interior motion sensor).
>To a change of the vehicle's tilt Ð if
someone attempts to steal the
wheels or tow the vehicle without
authorization, for example.
>If there is an interruption in battery
voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
>Sounding an alarm for 30 seconds.
>The hazard warning flashers are acti-
vated for approx. five minutes.
>The high beams flash on and off in
sync with the hazard warning flashers.
To activate and deactivate the
alarm systemWhen the vehicle is locked or unlocked
by using a key or with the remote
control, the alarm system is also simul-
taneously armed or disarmed.
The interior motion sensor and the tilt
alarm sensor are activated approx.
30 seconds after you have finished
locking the vehicle.
If the alarm system has been armed
correctly, the hazard warning flashers
flash once.
You can have a signal set as
acknowledgment for both arming
and disarming the alarm system.<
You can also open the luggage
compartment lid when the system is
armed by pressing button 3 of the
remote control (refer to page 37). When
it is closed, the lid is once again
secured.
Indicator lamp displaysThe indicator lamp is located under the
interior rearview mirror.
>When the indicator lamp flashes
continuously: the system is armed.
>If the indicator lamp flashes during
arming of the system: the door(s), the
hood or luggage compartment lid are
not properly closed. Even if you do
not close the indicated area, the
system begins to monitor the
remaining areas, and the indicator
lamp flashes continuously after
>10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
>If the indicator lamp goes out when
the system is disarmed: no manipula-
tion or attempted intrusions have
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.463us010

Alarm system
*
>If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is
disarmed: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding an unintentional alarm The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered (in garages
with elevator ramps, for instance), or
when the vehicle is transported by
trailer or train:
Locking the vehicle twice (= arming the
system). Press button 2 on the remote
control twice in succession or lock the
vehicle twice with the key. Refer to
page 34.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
Reset the alarm to reactivate the tilt
alarm sensor and the interior motion
sensor.
Interior motion sensorThe transmitter and receiver of the inte-
rior motion sensor are located in a trim
panel in the vehicle's roof.
For the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and sliding/
tilt sunroof must be closed.
However, you should switch off the
interior motion sensor (see previous
column) if you wish to leave the
windows or sliding/tilt sunroof open.460de159

Electric power windowsOpen and close the windowsFrom ignition key position 1:
>Press the switch up to but not past
the pressure point:
The window will lower slightly or the
rear vent window will open slightly,
as long as you keep pressing the
switch.
>Press the switch briefly past the pres-
sure point:
The window will move automatically.
Pressing the switch again stops the
opening cycle.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch. The rear
vent window does not close automati-
cally.462us043
After the ignition has been switched off:
You can still operate the power
windows for up to 15 minutes, as long
as neither of the front doors has been
opened.
Remove the key from the ignition
lock and close the doors when
you leave the vehicle, so that children
cannot operate the power windows and
possibly injure themselves.<
To use the convenience mode via the
door lock or the remote control, refer to
page 34 or 36.
Safety feature A contact strip is located on the inside
upper frame of each of the windows. If
pressure is exerted against this contact
strip while a window is being raised, the
system will respond by stopping the
window and then retracting it a bit.
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that
the closing path of the windows is not
obstructed. Otherwise, an object might
not touch the contact strip in some situ-
ations (very thin objects, for instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.<

Sliding/tilt sunroof
*
Exercise care when closing the
sliding/tilt sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is completely
closed. Failure to do so can result in
injuries.
Remove the key from the ignition lock
and close the doors when you leave the
vehicle so that children cannot operate
the sunroof and possibly injure them-
selves.<
Avoid low air pressure or drafts in the
passenger compartment whenever the
sunroof is open or up by keeping the
vent outlets on the instrument panel
open, and if necessary, by increasing
the air supply. Refer to page 92 or 99.
If the sunroof is completely open, air
disturbances may be caused in the
vehicle when you are driving at higher
speeds. Close the roof as far as neces-
sary until this natural phenomenon
ceases.
To operate the door lock or the remote
control by using the convenience oper-
ating mode, refer to page 34 or 36.
Lifting Ð Opening Ð ClosingFrom ignition key position 1, press the
switch or slide it to the desired direction
until you feel resistance.
When lifting, the headliner will retract
several inches.
Do not use force to close the
headliner whenever the sunroof is
open, because the mechanism will be
damaged.<
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof for up to 15 minutes, as long as
no door has been opened.460de015
Automatic opening and closing>Press the switch past the pressure
point: the sunroof travels to either the
fully-closed or fully-open position.
>With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift": the
sunroof automatically extends to its
fully raised position.
Pressing the switch again briefly stops
the motion immediately.
