26Keys, doors and windowsGeneral hints for operating
tailgate9 Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Vehicle security
Anti-theft locking system9 Warning
Do not use the system if there are
people in the vehicle! The doorscannot be unlocked from the

of the system).
● Directly by pressing e on the
radio remote control once more
after locking.
Note
Changes to the vehicle interior such
as the use of seat covers, and open
windows or sunroof, could impair the
function of passenger compartment
monitoring.
Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment and
vehicle inclination
Switch off the monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle
inclination when animals are being
left in the vehicle, because of high
volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm. Also switch off when the vehicle is on a
ferry or train.
1. Close tailgate, bonnet and windows.
2. Press o. LED in the button
illuminates for a maximum of ten
minutes.
3. Close doors.
