Anti-theft alarm system

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Alarm trigger
57
Interior monitor and towing protection
58The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The alarm system has its own power source, the service life of which is 5 years.
In order to ensure functionality of the alarm system, we recommend that you
get the alarm checked after this time by a specialist garage.
Alarm trigger
Read and observe
on page 57 first.
The alarm is triggered when one of the following unauthorised actions is acti-
vated on the vehicle with an activated warning system. ▶ 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.
An alarm is triggered also when the driver's door is unlocked and opened by
the lock cylinder.
The alarm is switched off by pressing the 
button on the key or switching on
the ignition.
57Unlocking and opening

opened.
Setting the delayed locking of the boot lid
Read and observe
on page 58 first.
If the boot lid is unlocked with the  button on the key, the lid is automatical-
ly locked again after closing.
The period after which the boot lid is locked automatically can be extended by
a specialist garage.
CAUTION
There is a risk of unwanted entry into the vehicle before the boot lid is locked
automatically.

The boot lid (hereinafter as lid) can be operated electrically and manual in the
event of an emergency » page 61.
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 located in the opening/closing
range – risk of injury!
WARNING (Continued)■ Make sure that no limbs are caught or crushed when closing the lid - risk
of injury!■
When you open the boot lid make sure that there are no persons in the
opening area of the lid - there is a danger of injury!
CAUTION
■ Do not attempt to close the lid manually during the electrical closing process
- there is a risk of damaging the electric lid operation.■
When washing the vehicle in a car wash, we recommend that you lock the
vehicle (with the central locking button). In some car washes the boot lid might
open automatically due to the pressure action of the washing brushes - there
is a risk of damage to the vehicle interior.
CAUTION
■ Check that no objects are located in the opening/closing area which could
hinder the movement (e.g. cargo on the roof rack or on the trailer etc.) - there
is a risk of 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 flap is always to be close before disconnecting the battery.
