WARNING

An electrical sliding door which is opened or closed manually moves very quickly, does not engage in the open

position and can cause severe injuries.

● Open and close the sliding door carefully, particularly on uphill and downhill gradients.

● Always close the sliding door immediately.

● Ensure that nobody obstructs the path of the electric sliding doors, especially if the roll-back function is not

active whilst closing or opening.

Anti-theft alarm.

Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have an anti-theft alarm.

The anti-theft alarm is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked using the vehicle key.

The anti-theft alarm outputs acoustic and visual warning signals for up to five minutes.

When does the system trigger an alarm?

—When a manually unlocked door is opened without switching on the ignition.

—When the bonnet is opened.

—When the boot lid is opened.

—If the ignition is switched on using an invalid key.

—If the 12-volt vehicle battery is disconnected.

Vehicles with interior monitoring and anti-tow alarm:

—In the event of movement in the vehicle.

—If the vehicle is raised or towed.

—If the vehicle is transported on a ferry or train.

—If a trailer that is connected to the anti-theft alarm system is removed.

Switching off the alarm

1. Unlock the vehicle using the unlocking button on the vehicle key.

Or: Switch on the ignition using a valid vehicle key. A short alarm lasting around one second may sound.

The anti-theft alarm will not function correctly if the 12-volt vehicle battery is weak or

discharged.

106

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 the equipment level, 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 luggage 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.
