The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against theft and
break-in.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
Triggering the alarm
The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
› Opening the bonnet.
› Opening the boot lid.
› Opening the doors.
› Manipulation of the ignition lock.
› Towing the vehicle
» page 55.
› Movement in the vehicle
» page 55.
› Sudden and significant voltage failure of the electrical system.
› Uncoupling the trailer
» page 133, Trailer, connect and disconnect .
If the driver's door of a vehicle with a remote control is unlocked and opened
by the lock cylinder, then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the  button on the radio remote control
key or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the doors and windows are closed in or-
der to ensure that the alarm system is fully operational.

WARNINGPower windows in the driver's door and the rear doors are equipped with a
force limiter (only applies to the Variant 2 ) » page 58 . If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of
injury.■
If the rear seats are accommodating people who are not completely inde-
pendent, e.g. children, it is recommended that for safety reasons the but-
tons in the rear doors are disabled with the button

dow is closed. The window will stop and open again by several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window
» page 58 .
■
Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.
Note
The window lift mechanism is equipped with protection against overheater.
Repeated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to
overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a
short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the over-
heater protection has cooled down.Opening the windows in the front passenger door and in the rear
