cle occupants of the emergency exit win-
dow and explain how to use it. Make sure

here.
R Only vehicle occupants who know how to
use the emergency exit window are permit-
ted to sit next to it.
R Access to the emergency exit window must
remain unobstructed. Do not place any
large or heavy objects on or in front of the

R The window handles must not be used as
hooks, e.g. to hang up light objects, bags
or items of clothing.
R When exiting the vehicle through the emer-
gency exit window, pay attention to the

the key in the vehicle, anyone can start the
engine.
i The immobilizer is always deactivated
when you start the engine.
In the event that the engine cannot be
started when the starter battery is fully
charged, the immobilizer may be faulty.

on the remote control.
Or
X Insert the key into the ignition lock.
The alarm stops. Tow-away alarm
Operation A visual and audible alarm is triggered if the
inclination of the vehicle changes when the
tow-away alarm is armed. This can be the
case if the vehicle is raised on one side, for
example.

approximately 20 seconds after you lock the
vehicle.
The tow-away alarm is automatically deacti-
vated when you unlock the vehicle.

your vehicle and:
R loading and/or transporting the vehicle, on
a ferry or car transporter, for example
R parking on a moving surface, as split-level
garage
This will prevent false alarms. Interior motion sensor
Operation If the armed interior motion sensor detects
motion in the vehicle interior, a visual and
acoustic alarm is triggered. This can happen
if someone reaches into the vehicle interior,
for example.
i
If the interior motion sensor is armed and
the auxiliary heating system (Y page 122)
switches on, a false alarm may occur as a
result of interior temperature monitoring.
In this case, either deactivate the interior
motion sensor or switch off the auxiliary
heating.

X Make sure that nothing (such as mascots
or coat hangers) are hanging on the rear-
view mirror or on the grab handles on the
headliner.
