In the event of an accident in which the air-

unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.

If it does not flash, this indicates that one of

the doors, the rear lid or the bonnet is not

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via

the central locking system. There are several

methods, depending on the vehicle equip-

ment:

Unlocking one side of the vehicle only

Lock the vehicle with the remote control key,

when all the doors and the rear lid have been

closed. This prevents the accidental locking

of the vehicle.

When the driver door is unlocked with the key,

you should switch on the ignition within 15

seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be trig-

gered. On some export versions, the alarm is

triggered immediately when you open a door.

When you lock the vehicle with the key, the

doors and the rear lid are locked. When you

open the door, you can either unlock only the

driver door, or all the vehicle doors. To select

the required option, use Easy Connect*

nition. After a certain time, the alarm will au-

tomatically switch off.

triggered if movements are detected in the in-

terior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's incli-

nation is changed (e.g. during transport). You

can prevent the alarm from being triggered

accidentally by switching off the vehicle inte-

rior monitoring and/or tow-away protection.

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.

Note

●

If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is

activated without the volumetric sensor

function, 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 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.

●

To switch off the interior monitoring and

tow-away protection, switch off the ignition

and, using the Infotainment system, select: In-

fotainment button  /  and then the Ve-

hicle > SETTINGS > Opening and clos-

ing > Central locking > Vehicle in-

terior monitoringbutton.

●

If the alarm has been triggered by the

volumetric 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 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.
