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 vehicle is locked, only the anti-theft alarm without interior monitoring and anti-  
tow 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, depending on  
equipment (→ SAFELOCK).

WARNING  
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the boot lid can cause accidents and serious injuries.  
Open or close the boot lid only when there is no-one in the movement path of the boot lid.  
Always keep the boot lid closed while the vehicle is in motion.  
Close and lock the boot lid and all doors when the vehicle is not in use.  
Check that the closed boot lid is flush with the surrounding body parts.  
WARNING  
Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may be extremely hot or cold depending on the season. This can cause serious injuries and  
illness or fatalities, especially among small children.  
Ensure that no one remains in the vehicle.  
Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the boot lid is open. Children could climb into  
the luggage compartment and shut the boot lid, thereby trapping themselves inside.  
WARNING  
It may not always be apparent that the boot lid is unlocked when a loaded luggage carrier is attached to it. If unlocked, the boot lid  
may open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This can cause serious injuries.  
Check that the closed boot lid is flush with the surrounding body parts.  
WARNING  
If there is a large amount of snow or a heavy load on the boot lid, the boot lid may lower by itself and cause serious injuries due to the  
additional weight.  
Never open the boot lid if it is covered by a large amount of snow or a load is attached to it, e.g. a luggage carrier.  
Remove the snow or load before opening the boot lid.  
Support the boot lid if necessary or remove the load or snow before opening the boot lid.  
WARNING  
If the boot lid is not closed correctly, this can cause the rear window to shatter and lead to serious injuries.  
Never close the boot lid by pressing with your hand on the rear window.
