dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ig-
nition lock.

The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to 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.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.
▶ Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.
▶ Uncoupling the trailer.
If the driver's door of a vehicle is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder,
then the alarm is triggered. 

The boot lid (hereinafter as lid) can be operated electrically and manual in the
event of an emergency » page 61.
If the lid hits an obstacle when opening or closing, it stops and an audible sig-
nal sounds. When closing the flap is lifted additionally.
WARNING■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the lid. Otherwise,
the lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the lid was
locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the lid open or unlatched, as otherwise exhaust gases
may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Only open and close the lid when no one is in the opening/closing range –
risk of injury!
■
Make sure that no limbs are caught or crushed when closing the lid - risk
of injury!
CAUTION
Do not attempt to close the door manually during electrical closing process -
there is a risk of damaging the system of an electric valve operation.
CAUTION
■ Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the open-
ing or closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the
roof rack or on the trailer, etc.) – risk of causing damage to the lid!■
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g. by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. Remove the snow from the lid to
re-enable the electrical operation.
■
If the lid closes automatically (e.g. under load of snow), you will hear an inter-
mittent beep.

The windows in the doors can be operated electrically by means of the buttons
contained in the doors.
WARNINGThe system is fitted with a force limiter » page 63. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
CAUTION
■ If windows are frozen, always remove ice » page 196, Windows and external
mirrors before operating the electrical power windows. The window seals and
the electrical power window mechanism can otherwise be damaged.■
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 lim-
iter to close the window » page 63.
■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.
■
Always close the windows before disconnecting the battery.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
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 and other dirt can get into the vehicle and the wind noise is more at cer-
tain speeds.Opening/closing the windowsFig. 48
