If the driver's door of a vehicle with a remote control is unlocked and opened
by the lock cylinder, then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the  button on the radio remote control
key or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of

If the vehicle is unlocked and a door or the boot lid not opened within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched back on. This function is intended
to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.

58WARNING■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the
lid was locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the luggage compartment lid open or ajar, as otherwise
exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the boot lid, as otherwise
this could crack – there is a risk of injury.
■
Make sure that when closing the boot lid, no body parts are crushed -
there is danger of injury!
CAUTION
If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is immediately
locked automatically when closed » page 58.Note■
The function of the button in the grip above the licence plate is deactivated
when starting off or at a speed of 5 km/hour or more for vehicles with central
locking. The function is restored after the vehicle stops and the door is
opened.■
Repeated opening and closing of the boot lid can lead to a temporary failure
of the function due to the overheating protection of the motors of the Twin-
door system.

Adjusting
›
Stop the lid in the desired position (electrically or manually).
›
Press and hold the button
B
» Fig. 42 on page 59 for longer than 3 seconds.
Storing the new position is confirmed with an audible signal.
Delete
›
Carefully lift up the lid manually to the maximum opening position.
›
Press and hold the button
B
» Fig. 42 on page 59 for longer than 3 seconds.
An audible signal sounds and the height which was originally set is deleted
from the memory, while the basic position of the top lid position is again set.
The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 59 first.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is nec-
essary to activate the system of the electric boot lid.
Activation means closing the lid by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

door temperature is higher than -20 °C.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after
switching the ignition off. However, as soon as the driver or front passenger's
door is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
CAUTION
