Anti-theft alarm system
The vehicle may be equipped with an anti-theft alarm system.
The anti-theft alarm system monitors the doors, the hood, and the trunk lid.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when you lock the vehicle.
If an attempt is made to access the vehicle without using the appropriate vehicle key, this triggers the anti-theft alarm system,
which emits audible and visual warning signals for up to five minutes.
When is the alarm triggered?
If a door that was unlocked manually using the vehicle key is opened.
If the hood is opened.
If the trunk lid is opened.
If the ignition is switched on with an invalid vehicle key.
If a device is connected to the diagnostic connection when the anti-theft alarm system is active.
Switching off the alarm
1. Unlock the vehicle with the
unlock button on the vehicle key.
Or: switch on the ignition using a valid vehicle key.
2. For vehicles with Keyless Access with push-button start: Grasp the door handle ⇒ “Keyless Access” with push-button
start.
The anti-theft alarm system will not work correctly if the 12 V vehicle battery is weak or drained.
If you have integrated a trailer into the anti-theft alarm system, breaking the connection to the trailer may trigger the anti-
theft alarm system ⇒ Trailer towing.
Trunk lid
Introduction
The trunk lid is unlocked and locked together with the doors.
On vehicles with Keyless Access, the trunk lid is automatically unlocked when opening ⇒ “Keyless Access” with push-button
start.
If individual door opening or the opening of one side of doors is activated in the Infotainment system settings for opening and
closing, you must press the
button on the remote control vehicle key twice to unlock the trunk lid.
On vehicles with Keyless Access with push-button start, you must press the sensor on the inside of the driver's or front
passenger's door handle, depending on the setting, twice to do this.
WARNING
Uncontrolled or unintentional release: opening and closing the trunk lid can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Do not open or close the trunk lid if anyone is in the way.
Always keep the trunk lid closed while driving.
Close and lock the trunk lid and all doors when the vehicle is not in use.
Check that, when closed, the trunk lid is flush with the areas of the vehicle body around it.
