Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm system

If the anti-theft alarm system detects a vehicle
break-in, audio and visual warning signals are
triggered. The anti-theft alarm system is switch-

cle. If the alarm is triggered, it will shut off auto-
matically after a certain amount of time.

the vehicle key or switch the ignition on.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the anti-
theft alarm system may have the following fea-
tures:
Break-in security feature
The alarm will sound if there is a break-in at the
doors, hood, and/or luggage compartment lid.
Interior/towing protection monitor
The alarm will be triggered if there are move-
ments detected in the vehicle interior (for exam-
ple, by animals) or if there is a change in the vehi-
cle angle (for example, when the vehicle is being
towed).
You can prevent the alarm from being triggered
by deactivating the interior/towing protection
monitor.

monitor
There are the following options for deactivating
the interior/towing protection monitor:
> Press the ff button on the vehicle key a second
time within two seconds. Or
> Applies to: vehicles with convenience key:

protection monitor will stay off until the next
time the vehicle is unlocked.

vehicle when it is locked from the outside, be-
cause the windows can no longer be opened
from the inside. Locked doors make it more
difficult for emergency workers to enter the
vehicle, which puts lives at risk.

ly functions correctly when the windows and
the roof* are closed.
