Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
39
Interior monitor and towing protection
40
The anti-theft alarm system (hereinafter referred to only as alarm system) increa-
ses protection against break-in attempts into the vehicle.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
An alarm is triggered when the following monitored areas of the vehicle have a
fault.
› Bonnet.
› Boot lid.
› Doors.
› Ignition lock.
› Vehicle inclination
» page 40, Interior monitor and towing protection .
› Interior of car
» page 40, Interior monitor and towing protection .
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 157, Driving with a trailer .
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle 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 the
anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
Activating/deactivating
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 39.
Activating
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safelock system or
anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to prevent
the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Deactivating
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated automatically after the vehicle is un-
locked. If the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds, the anti-theft alarm sys-
tem is automatically activated again.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle.
Note
■ When the Vehicle is unlocked using the key on the driver's door, insert the key
into the ignition and switch on the ignition in order to deactivate the alarm sys-
tem.■
You can switch the audible signalling of the activation of the warning system on
and off in the Maxi DOT display in the menu item ATA confirm » page 29 .

Automatic locking
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 40.
If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is immediately
locked automatically when closed.
The period after which the boot lid is locked automatically can be extended by a specialist garage.
Delayed locking
If the tailgate was locked using the  symbol button on the remote control key,
it is possible to open the tailgate within a limited period of time.
There is a risk of unwanted entry into the vehicle before the boot lid is locked au-tomatically. The vehicle should therefore always be locked with the symbol but-
ton 
on the radio remote control.
Delayed locking can be deactivated by a specialist garage at any time.

Lightly press the appropriate button down and hold it until the window has
moved into the desired position.
The window can be completely opened automatically by briefly pressing the but- ton down as far as the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the window
to stop immediately.
Closing

Force limit
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 41.
The electrical power window system is fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the
risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by
several centimetres.
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.
