We recommend deactivating the interior monitoring and anti-tow alarm in the following situations:

Risk of false alarms for the interior monitoring system
Interior monitoring can only work properly if the vehicle is completely closed. Comply with legal
regulations. A false alarm can be triggered in the following situations:
—If one or more windows or the glass roof are fully or partially open.
—If lightweight items such as loose pieces of paper or items hung from the interior mirror are left in
the vehicle.
—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.
