function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system are, however, deactivated during these 30 seconds. In addition, when the car is unlocked, the el
ectrically adjustable seats and exterior
mirrors* move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved. The turn signal lights flash once to co

open when the anti-theft alarm system is activated, the turn signal lights do not flash until after they have been closed. When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the
interior lights in the door contact are
automatically switched on or off.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outsid
e and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers to get into
the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!

ggers audible and visual warning signals if
an attempt is made to break into the vehicle. Optical and acoustic signals alert if an al
arm has been triggered (the turn signal
lights flash and the signal horn honks). How is the alarm system activated? The anti-theft alarm system is activated
automatically when th
e vehicle is locked
with the key on the closed driver's door or
by using the radio remote control. It is
activated 30 seconds after locking the door. How is the alarm system deactivated? The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated
if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the radio remote control. The vehicle is au
tomatically locked agai

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

⇒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
vehicle with the radio remote control or
if you switch the ignition on.

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 receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.4)The alarm will be triggered through movement of
occupants within the interior of the vehicle
