Anti-theft alarm
rflt First read and observe the introductory 1..-.L::.U information and safety warnings & on page 39.
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activa-ted when the vehicle is locked.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm will sound an acoustic alarm for approximately 30 seconds and trigger a visible warning for up to 5 minutes if any of the following unauthorised actions are performed while the vehi-cle is locked:
• Mechanical unlocking of the vehicle with the ve-hicle key and failure to switch on the ignition within 15 seconds
• A door is opened.
A WARNING
Take care when using the SAFELOCK mecha-nism to avoid accidents or injuries.
• Never leave anybody in the vehicle if the vehicle has been locked using the remote control key. The doors can no longer be opened from the inside once the SAFELOCK mechanism is activated.
• Locked doors make it more difficult for emergency service personnel to gain access to the vehicle and provide assistance when needed. In an emergency, people locked in-side the vehicle would not be able to leave the vehicle by unlocking the doors.
• The tailgate is opened.
• The ignition is switched on using an invalid key.
• Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles with interior monitoring).
• The vehicle is towed (vehicles with anti-tow alarm).
• The vehicle is lifted (vehicles with anti-tow alarm).
• Transportation of the vehicle on a ferry or train.
• Disconnection of the vehicle battery (only an acoustic alarm)
Switching off the alarm

• If the vehicle is being transported (e.g. on a fer-ry).
• If the vehicle is going to be towed with one axle off the ground.
• If the vehicle is to be parked in a car wash.

• If one or more windows are fully or partly open.
• If the slidingflilting roof is completely or partly open.
• If items such as loose pieces of paper and items attached to the Interior mirror (e.g. air-fresh-eners) are left in the vehicle.
