An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control
or switching on the ignition. Note
■ The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
■ Before leaving the vehicle, check that all the doors and windows are closed in
order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational. ■ Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. ÐInterior monitor and towing protection

of the alarm being triggered by movements from (e.g. children or animals) within
the vehicle interior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by train or ship) or
towed. ■ The opened glasses storage compartment reduces the effectiveness of the in-
terior monitor. To ensure the full functionality of the interior monitor, the glasses
storage compartment must always be closed before locking the vehicle. Ð Emergency locking of the doors

Opening/closing the windows 34
Force limiter of the electrical power windows 34
Window convenience operation 35
Operational faults 35
WARNING
■ If the vehicle is locked from the outside, do not leave anybody in the vehicle
as it is not possible to open the windows from the inside in the event of an
emergency.
■ The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 34. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully! Otherwise
these can cause severe crushing injuries!
■ It is recommended to deactivate the electrical power windows in the rear
doors (safety pushbutton) S
» Fig. 19 on page 34 when children are being
transported on the rear seats. CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows. ■ In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 130, De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
electrical power windows. Otherwise, the electrical power window mechanism
could be damaged. ■ When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times. £

Unlocking and locking

If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-
moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to
automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10
seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again. ÐWindow convenience operation

ä Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 36.
For a better cornering illumination, the halogen projector headlights with corner-
ing light function are set in the optimal position in line with the vehicle speed and
the steering angle. WARNING
If the halogen projector headlights with cornering light function are faulty, the
headlights are automatically lowered to the emergency position, which pre-
vents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic. Thus the illuminated length of
the road is shortened. Drive carefully and visit a

system stays on for a few seconds after the doors have been closed. The inner
light goes out out immediately after the ignition is switched on.
The interior lighting is switched off after about 10 minutes when a door has been
left open in order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle. Ð Interior lights at the rear

» Fig. 30 on page 43, the headlights are
sprayed briefly. To clean the headlights, the windshield is also sprayed after every
five squirts.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight len-
ses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guidelines
must be observed » page 130, Headlight lenses.
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray. CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand - risk of
damage! ÐReplacing the windscreen wiper blades

Windshield wiper blades in proper condition are essential to obtain good visibility.
Wiper blades should not be allowed to become dirtied by dust, insect remains and
preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades could then be due to wax residues left
on the windshield by vehicle washing in automatic vehicle wash systems. It is
therefore important to clean and degrease the lips of the windshield wiper blades
after every pass through the automatic vehicle wash system .Ð Replacing the rear window wiper blade
