2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC COUPE sensor

Interior motion sensor
Function When the interior motion sensor is switched on,
a visual and audible alarm is triggered if move-
ment is detected in the vehicle interior. This can occur if someone reaches into the vehicle inte-
rior, for example.
Switching on/off The interior motion sensor is automatically
switched on and off with the ATA (Anti-Theft
Alarm system) when:
R the doors are closed
R the tailgate is closed
The interior motion sensor is active around ten
seconds after the ATA has been switched on
(Y page 79).
You can prevent false alarms by doing the fol-
lowing before switching on the ATA:
R close the side windows
R close the sliding sunroof
R make sure that no objects, such as mascots,
are attached to the rear-view mirror or the
grab handles on the roof trim
Deactivating If you want to lock your vehicle and people or
animals are inside it, you can deactivate the
interior motion sensor.
The interior motion sensor remains deactivated until you switch the ATA on again after opening
a door.
You can deactivate the interior motion sensor
via the multimedia system (see Digital Owner's
Manual). Protection against theft

United Kingdom only: G
WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the outside, the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (see Digital Owner's Manual).
The doors can then be opened from the inside
after the vehicle has been locked from the out-
side. The anti-theft alarm system is triggered if
the door is opened from the inside. Switch off
the alarm (Y page 79).

WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they can:
R open doors and endanger other persons or
road users
R climb out and be injured by the traffic
R operate vehicle equipment and, for exam-
ple, trap themselves.
Children could also set the vehicle in motion, for example by:
R releasing the parking brake
R shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
R starting the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always
keep the key out of reach of children. G
WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the key, the key could be unintentionally turned in the
ignition lock. This could cause the engine to
be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
key. Remove any bulky keyrings before insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock.
! Keep the key away from strong magnetic
fields. Otherwise, the remote control function could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin-
ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the key: R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can impair the key's function.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start function: do
not keep the key in the luggage compartment.
Otherwise, the key may not be detected, e.g.
when starting the engine using the Start/Stop
button.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in or in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle. This occurs, for
example:
R during engine start
R during driving
R when using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
R when the external door handles are touched
R during convenience closing 82

Important safety notes G
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system can become very
hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you
could burn yourself by touching the exhaust
system. There is a risk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make a leg movement
within the detection range of sensors.
! If the key is within the rear detection range
of KEYLESS-GO, the following situations, for
example, could lead to the unintentional
opening of the tailgate:
R using a car wash
R using a high-pressure cleaner
Make sure that the key is at least 3 m away
from the vehicle.
General notes With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS,
you can open or close the tailgate or stop the
process without using your hands. This is useful92
Luggage compartmentOpening and closing

if you have your hands full. To do this, make a
kicking movement under the bumper with your
foot.
Observe the following points:
R Carry your KEYLESS-GO key with you. The key
must be in the KEYLESS-GO detection range
to the rear of the vehicle.
R When making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise lose your balance, e.g. on ice. R
Always ensure that you only make a kicking
movement within the detection range of sen- sors :.
R Stand at least 30 cm away from the rear area
while doing so.
R Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.
R HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function dur-
ing engine start.
R Dirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
R If a KEYLESS-GO key is in the KEYLESS-GO
detection range to the rear of the vehicle,
HANDS-FREE ACCESS could be triggered. The tailgate could thus be opened or closed
unintentionally, for example, if you:
- fold the ball coupling in or out
- couple or uncouple a trailer
- fit or remove a rear-mounted bicycle rack
- load/unload bicycles on/from a rear-
mounted bicycle rack
- sit on the edge of the luggage compartment
- set down or lift up an object behind the
vehicle
- polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key with you in such situations. This will prevent uninten-
tional opening or closing of the tailgate.
