not opened within 30 seconds after reac tivating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock an d switch the ignition on within 15 seconds
after unlocking the door in order to deac tivate the anti-theft alarm system. The
alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.

same as for switching off and switching on the safe securing system ⇒page 38.
This function makes it possible for example to leave animals in the vehicle.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the car with the radio remote control in the
key or if you switch the ignition on.Note
•
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is avail-
able by a specialist garage.
•
Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric
sliding/tilting roof* are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm
system is fully operational.
•
Coding of the radio remote control and the receptor part precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.

particular care when closing the windows! You may otherwise suffer severe
injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in the window!
Note
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for a
further 10 minutes. The automatic closing and opening functions will not operate
during this time. The power windows are switched off completely once you open
the driver or front passenger door.
Force limiter of the power windowsThe electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuri es when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing proc ess is stopped and the window goes down
into the opened position.
You must try to close the window once again within 10 seconds after the window
has gone down and if the obstacle was not yet removed, the closing process is
stopped. During this time it is not po ssible to automatically close the window.
The force limiter is only switched off, if you attempt to close the window within the
next 10 seconds - the window closes now with full strength!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, th e force limiter is switched on again.

tion, the low beam is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. On models fitted with
right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in ⇒fig. 45 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical.
In certain countries, the low beam is on a reduced brightness as well as the side
lights, when the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not
bright enough to light up the road suffic iently in front of you or to be seen by
other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it
is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you wi thdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.
•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period , we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.
•
The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.

If a fault occurs in the light switch , the low beam comes on automatically
•
In the event of cool or humid weather co nditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside.
−The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head-
light lenses is decisive.
− When the driving lights are switched on , the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
