Anti-theft systems
62 Tow-away protection*
An audible and visual alarm is triggered if your
vehicle's angle of inclination is altered while
tow-away protection is primed. This happens
if the vehicle is jacked up on one side, for
example.
Priming tow-away protection X
Lock the vehicle using the key. On vehicles
with KEYLESS GO*, the locking button on
the door handle/boot lid can also be used.
Tow-away protection is primed after
approximately 30 seconds.
To deactivate tow-away protection When you unlock your vehicle using the key
or KEYLESS GO*, tow-away protection is
automatically deactivated.
Deactivate tow-away protection manually to
prevent a false alarm if your vehicle:
R
is being transported
R is being loaded, e.g. onto a ferry or car
transporter
R is being parked on a movable surface, e.g.
split-level garages 1
To deactivate tow-away protection
2 Indicator lamp
X Remove the key from the ignition lock.
X Press button 1.
Indicator lamp 2 lights up briefly.
X Lock the vehicle using the key. On vehicles
with KEYLESS GO*, the locking button on
the door handle/boot lid can also be used.
Tow-away protection remains deactivated
until the vehicle is unlocked and locked
again. Interior motion sensor*
If the interior motion sensor is primed, a vis-
ual and audible alarm is triggered if move-
ment is detected in the vehicle interior while
the vehicle is locked. This occurs, for exam-
ple, if someone breaks the side windows of
your vehicle or reaches into the vehicle's inte-
rior.
Priming the interior motion sensor X
Make sure that:
R
the side windows are closed
R the sliding/tilting sunroof* is closed
R there are no objects, e.g. mascots, hang-
ing on the rear-view mirror or on the
grasp handles on the roof trim.
This will prevent false alarms.
X Lock the vehicle using the key or, on vehi-
cles with KEYLESS GO*, using the locking
buttons on the door handle/boot lid.
The interior motion sensor is primed after
approximately 30 seconds. Safety

switch
R press one of the memory function posi-
tion buttons

ately. Never leave children unsupervised in the

tion or when you store a memory position
