Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have interior monitoring and an anti-tow alarm.
If movements are detected in the vehicle interior when the vehicle is locked, the interior monitoring triggers an
alarm.
The anti-tow alarm will be triggered if the vehicle is lifted.
Switching on the interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm
1. Lock the vehicle.
When the anti-theft alarm is switched on, interior monitoring and the anti-tow alarm are also active.
Depending on the equipment, the function of interior monitoring may be impaired if a load guard is used.
Temporarily switching off the interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm
Depending on equipment, the interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm can be switched off temporarily in the
Opening and closing submenu in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).
The interior monitoring and anti-towing alarm are deactivated until the next time the vehicle is locked.
We recommend switching off the interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm in the following situations:
—If any people or animals are to remain in the vehicle interior for a short period.
—If the vehicle is to be loaded onto another vehicle.
—If the vehicle is to be transported.
—If the vehicle is going to be towed with one axle off the ground.
—If the vehicle is to be parked in a two-storey garage.
—If the vehicle is to be parked in a car wash.
Risk of false alarms for the interior monitoring system
Interior monitoring can only work properly if all the vehicle doors are fully closed. Observe the legal requirements.
A false alarm can be triggered in the following situations:
—If one or more windows are fully or partially open.
—If lightweight items are left in the vehicle, such as loose pieces of paper or items hung from the interior mirror.
—If the vibration alarm of a mobile telephone is switched on.
Permanent deactivation of interior monitoring and the anti-tow alarm is not
possible.
If doors or the boot lid are still open when the anti-theft alarm is activated, only the anti-theft alarm is
activated. Interior monitoring and the anti-tow alarm are not activated until all doors and the boot lid are
closed.
The SAFELOCK is also deactivated when the interior monitoring and anti-tow alarm are switched
off.
Depending on equipment, the load compartment is also monitored. Retrofitted equipment or loads that are
inadequately secured can restrict correct functioning of the system and increase the risk of a false alarm.
