in the anti-theft

arm* which detects unau-
thorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound.
Activation
– It is automatically switched on when the
anti-theft al
arm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
chanic
ally or by pressing the button on
the r emot
e c
ontrol. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted into the contact should not exceed
15 seconds, otherwise the alarm will be
triggered.
– Press the button on the remote control
tw ic
e.
The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked. The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt
sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully),
● Tilting panoramic sunroof open (partially or
compl
etely),
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v
ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor
, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Boot hatch

WARNING
● Alw a
ys close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● The rear lid must not be opened when the
rever
se or rear fog lights are lit. This may
damage the tail lights.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with y
our hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it m
ay open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensurin
g it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may enter into the in-
terior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key in
side. The vehicle cannot be opened
if the key is left inside. Electric windows

Opening and closing
Note
If the window is not able to close because it
is s
tiff or because of an obstruction, the win-
dow will automatically open again
››› page 115. If this happens, check why the
window could not be closed before attempt-
ing to close it again. One-touch opening and closing*
One-touch opening and closing means you
do not h
av

and close windows to the desired position.
One-touch closing
– Pull up the window button briefly up to the
second pos
ition. The window closes fully.
One-touch opening
– Push down the window button briefly up to
the second pos
ition. The window opens
fully.
Resetting one-touch opening and closing
– The automatic open and close function will
not work
if the battery has been temporari-
ly disconnected. The function can be re-
stored as follows: –
Close the w
indow as far as it will go by lift-
ing and holding the electric window switch.
– Release the switch and then lift it again for
1 second. Thi
s will re-enable the automatic
function.
If you push (or pull) a button to the first
stage, the window will open (or close) until
you release the button. If you push or lift the
button briefly to the second stage, the win-
dow will open (one-touch opening) or close
(one-touch closing) automatically. If you op-
erate the button while the window is opening
or closing, it stops at this position.
Roll-back function The roll-back function reduces the risk of in-
jur
y
when the el
ectric windows close.
● If a window is obstructed when closing au-
tomatic
ally, the window stops at this point
and lowers immediately ››› .
● Next, check why the window does not close
bef or
e att
empting it again.
● If you try within the following 10 seconds
and the window c
loses again with difficulty
or there is an obstruction, the automatic clos-
ing will stop working for 10 seconds.
● If the window is still obstructed, the win-
dow w i
ll stop at this point. ●
If ther e i
s no obvious reason why the win-
dow cannot be closed, try to close it again by
pulling the tab within ten seconds. The win-
dow closes with maximum force. The roll-
back function is now deactivated.
If more than 10 seconds pass, the window
will open fully when you operate one of the
buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated. WARNING
● Incorr ect
use of the electric windows can
result in injury.
● Always take the ignition key with you when
leav
ing the vehicle, even if you only intend to
be gone for a short time. Please ensure that
children are never left alone inside the vehi-
cle.
● The electric windows will work until the ig-
nition has
been switched off and one of the
front doors has been opened.
● Closing the windows without observing and
ensurin

to you and third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of a window.
● Never allow people to remain in the vehicle
when you c
lose the vehicle from the outside.
The windows cannot be opened even in an
emergency.
● The roll-back function does not prevent fin-
gers
