If the vehicle is unlocked within 45 seconds by inserting the key into the driver
door, the key must be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on
within 15 seconds of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system. The
alarm is triggered if the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
› bonnet;
› boot lid;
› doors;
› ignition lock;
› Vehicle inclination
» page 34;
› Interior of the vehicle
» page 34;
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply;
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
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 car, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors, and
the electric sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof are properly closed to
ensure the full functionality of the anti-theft alarm system. ■ Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. Ð Interior monitor and towing protection monitoring

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 170 , De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
power windows otherwise the power window mechanism could be damaged. ■ When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times. Note
■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for approx. 10
minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely
once the driver or front passenger door are opened. ■ When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
■ At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
■ The convenience opening of the windows by means of the key in the driver's
lock is only possible within 45
seconds of deactivating or activating the alarm sys-
tem. ÐWindow open/close

Operational faults
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 40.
Electrically operated power windows do not operate
If the battery has been disconnected and then reconnected while the window
was opened, the electrically operated power windows do not operate. The system
must be activated. Proceed as follows in order to re-establish the function:
› switch on the ignition;
› pull the top edge of the button to close the window;
› release the button;
› pull the relevant button upwards again for approx. 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there to
be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move
back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 42.ÐElectric sliding/tilting roof
Introductory information
Fig. 25
Control dial for the power slid-
ing/tilting roof
The sliding/tilting roof is operated by means of the control dial » Fig. 25 and only
functions when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions.
ä
The sliding/tilting roof can still be opened, closed and tilted for approx. 10
mi-
nutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors
is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof. Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the slid-
ing/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to
the switch position A
» Fig. 25 and pressed forward for about 10

seconds.Ð Using the system
Comfort position
› Turn the switch to position C
» Fig. 25 on page 43.
