This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-

ment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Depending on the situation, the
vehicle is in one of the three states:
• Idle state.
• Standby state.
• Drive-ready state.
If the vehicle is in rest state, it is
switched off.
The vehicle is in idle state before
you open it from outside and once

Observe the following to ensure that
the vehicle is secured against rolling
away:
• Apply the parking brake.
• Turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on upward or downward gradi-
ents.
• Additionally secure the vehicle on
upward or downward gradients, for example with a chock.

A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle. The
exhaust fumes contain pollutants
which are colourless and odourless. In enclosed spaces, exhaust fumes
can also build up outside the vehicle.
There is a danger of fatal injury. Keep
the exhaust pipe clear and ensure sufficient ventilation.

An unsecured vehicle can start mov-ing and rolling away. There is a risk of
accident. Before leaving the vehicle,
secure it to prevent it from rolling away.
Observe the following to ensure that the vehicle is secured against rolling

• Apply the parking brake.
• Turn the front wheels towards the
kerb on upward or downward gradi- ents.
• Additionally secure the vehicle on upward or downward gradients, for
example with a chock.
NOTICE
Repeated start attempts or starting
several times in quick succession
means that fuel is not burned or is inadequately burned. The catalytic

The alarm system indicates the fol-
lowing changes visually and audi-
bly:
• Audible alarm: Depending on
local regulations, the acoustic
alarm may be suppressed.
• Visual alarm: By flashing of the
hazard warning lights and, if
applicable, the headlights.
To safeguard the function of the
alarm system, do not modify the
system.
The alarm system is switched off
and on at the same time as the
vehicle is unlocked and locked via
the remote control or Smart Key
System.
The alarm system is triggered on
opening a door if the door has been
unlocked using the integrated key
in the door lock.
To stop the alarm, see page 104.
The boot lid can be opened even
with the alarm system switched on.
On closing the boot lid, it is locked
again and monitored, as long as the
doors are locked. The hazard warn-
ing lights flash once.
• Indicator lamp flashes every 2
seconds: The alarm system is
switched on.
• Indicator lamp flashes for
approximately 10 seconds

If the open access points are then
closed, the interior protection and tilt

• The indicator lamp extinguishes
after the vehicle has been
unlocked: No attempt has been
made to tamper with the vehicle.
• The indicator lamp flashes after
unlocking until the drive-ready
state is switched on, but for no
longer than approximately 5 min-
utes: The alarm has been trig-

The incline of the vehicle is moni-
tored.
The alarm system responds, for
example, when there is an attempt
to steal a wheel or when towing
away.
The passenger compartment is
monitored to the height of the seat
cushions. Therefore the alarm sys-
tem, including the interior move-
ment detector, is switched on even
when the window is open. Falling
objects such as leaves can acci-
dentally trigger the alarm.
The tilt alarm sensor and the inte-
rior movement detector may trigger
an alarm without any unauthorised
activity taking place.
Possible situations for an unwanted
alarm:
• In washing bays or car washes.
• In two-level garages.
• During transport via motorail, car
ferry or trailer.
• When there are pets in the vehi-
cle.
• When the vehicle is locked after
starting to refuel.
The tilt alarm sensor and interior
protection can be switched off for
such situations.
The indicator lamp illuminates for
approximately 2 seconds and then
flashes again.
The tilt alarm sensor and the inte-
rior movement detector are
switched off until the next time the
vehicle is locked.
