Unlocking and locking 96
– Press button Ÿpage 93, fig. 61 to fold out the key bit.
– Use the lock on the driver door to unlock the vehicle. The anti-
theft alarm system remains active, but an alarm is not triggered
immediately.
– Switch on the ignition within 15 seconds. When the ignition is
switched on, the electronic immobiliser recognises a valid
vehicle key and deactivates the anti-theft alarm system. If you do
not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds, the alarm is trig-
gered.
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. Audible and visible alarms 13) are triggered if the car is opened using the
mechanical key, or if unauthorised access is gained to the vehicle.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are carried
out when the car is locked:
•Opening of vehicle using mechanical key without switching on ignition
within the next 15 seconds
•Opening a door
•Opening the bonnet
•Opening the tailgate
•Switching on the ignition
•Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles with interior monitoring).
The horn sounds and the indicators flash for approx. 30 seconds.Interior monitoring system
The sensors for the interior monitoring system are located at the top of the
door post between the front and rear door Ÿpage 95, fig. 62 . The sensors
must not be covered, as they will otherwise not be able to function properly.
The windows must be closed when the interior monitoring system is active as
the anti-theft alarm could be triggered by a draft of air.
Note
•If, after the alarm goes off, access is gained to a second secured zone
(e.g. the tailgate is opened after a door has been opened), the warning signal
is triggered again.
•Vehicle monitoring remains active even if the battery is disconnected or
not working for any reason.

Driving with the tailgate open
If the tailgate is open or incorrectly closed, the following warning may be
appear on the display
14). Please note that theft of your cargo is more likely if
the tailgate is open.
WARNING
If you have to drive with the tailgate open, please observe the following
warnings:
•Observe the following points to reduce the danger of poisoning from
exhaust fumes entering the vehicle interior:
−Close all windows.
−Close the sliding/tilting roof,
−Switch off air recirculation.
−Open the air outlets in the dash panel,
−Set the fresh air blower to the highest speed.
•Drive particularly carefully and think ahead. If possible, avoid sudden
braking and driving manoeuvres as this could cause the open tailgate to
move unpredictably. Risk of injury.
•When carrying objects that protrude from the boot, the correct signals
should be used; otherwise there is a risk of accident. Observe legal require-
ments when doing so.
•Always secure objects in the boot. Loose items could fall out of the
vehicle and injure other road users.
•If a baggage rack is fitted on the tailgate, it should be removed before
travelling with the tailgate open.
•Read and always observe the safety information concerning the use of
the tailgate Ÿpage 99.
Closing the tailgate
Before closing the tailgate, make sure that the key has not been left
inside the boot.
Closing the tailgate
– Take hold of the grip in the inside trim of the tailgate Ÿ and
pull the tailgate down.

WARNING
Always close the tailgate properly. Risk of accident or injury.
•Do not close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the
window. The glass could shatter. Risk of injury!
•Ensure the tailgate is locked after closing. If not, it may open unexpect-
edly while driving.
•Never allow children to play in or around the vehicle. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on
the time of year. This could cause serious injuries/illness. It could even
have fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other
doors when you are not using the vehicle.
•Never close the tailgate without observing and ensuring it is clear, to do
otherwise could cause serious injury to you and others. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the tailgate.

•To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger during
sudden braking manoeuvres or an accident, never drive with the backrest
tilted far back. Risk of injury. The maximum protection of the seat belt can
be achieved only when the backrests are in an upright position and the
driver and front passenger have properly adjusted their seat belts. The
further the backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater the risk of injury due
to improper positioning of the belt web!
•Exercise caution when adjusting the seat height or forwards/back-
wards position. Injuries can be caused if the backrest is tilted without due
care and attention.
•Never turn the driver or front passenger seat while the vehicle is in
motion. While adjusting your seat, you will assume an incorrect sitting
position. Risk of injury. Only turn the driver or passenger seats when the
vehicle is stationary.
•When the vehicle is in motion, the rotating front seats must be securely
engaged and facing the direction of travel. These front seats may be used
only when the vehicle is stationary.
Caution
The driver seat and front passenger seat must not be occupied while they are
being turned. If the seat is occupied when it is turned, it could be damaged.
Seat heating A
The seat cushions and backrests of the front seats can be
heated electrically.

controls the left seat heating and the right switch the right seat heating.
Caution
To avoid damaging the heating elements, please do not kneel on the seat or
apply sharp pressure at a single point to the seat cushion and backrest.
