In the roof console: sensors for the interior monitoring
system (arrows).
The interior monitoring system triggers an alarm if movement is detected in the interior of a locked vehicle → Fig. 1.
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
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). Alternatively, interior monitoring and the anti-tow alarm can also be temporarily
deactivated using the vehicle key. To do this, press the locking button on the vehicle key twice within 2 seconds. The interior
monitoring system and anti-tow alarm remain deactivated until the next time the vehicle is locked.
The interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm can be switched off in the exit menu. The ignition must be switched off when doing
this (→ Starter button).
To avoid false alarms, deactivate interior monitoring and the 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, transported or towed away.
—If the vehicle is to be parked in a car wash or a two-storey garage.
Risk of false alarms for the interior monitoring system
Interior monitoring can only work properly if the vehicle is completely 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 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.
SAFELOCK is also deactivated when the interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm are switched off (→ SAFELOCK).
