porter
R is parked on a movable surface, e.g. in a split-
level garage
The tow-away alarm remains deactivated until
you switch the ATA on again after opening a
door.
You can deactivate tow-away protection via the multimedia system (see the Digital Owner's
Manual). 80
Protection against theftSafety

Interior motion sensor
Function When the interior motion sensor is switched on,
a visual and audible alarm is triggered if move-
ment is detected in the vehicle interior. This can occur if someone reaches into the vehicle inte-
rior, for example.
Switching on/off The interior motion sensor is automatically
switched on and off with the ATA (Anti-Theft
Alarm system) when:
R the doors are closed
R the tailgate is closed
The interior motion sensor is active around ten
seconds after the ATA has been switched on
(Y page 79).
You can prevent false alarms by doing the fol-
lowing before switching on the ATA:
R close the side windows
R close the sliding sunroof
R make sure that no objects, such as mascots,
are attached to the rear-view mirror or the
grab handles on the roof trim
Deactivating If you want to lock your vehicle and people or
animals are inside it, you can deactivate the
interior motion sensor.
The interior motion sensor remains deactivated until you switch the ATA on again after opening

R during engine start
R during driving
R when you are using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
R when the external door handles are touched

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate is open when the engine is running, particu-
larly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust fumes
could enter the passenger compartment.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the tail-
gate. Never drive with the tailgate open. G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The tailgate swings upwards and to the rear
when opened. Therefore, make sure that
there is sufficient clearance above and behind
the tailgate.
The opening dimensions of the tailgate can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(Y page 379).
You can limit the opening angle of the tailgate
(Y page 94).
Do not leave the key in the luggage compart-
ment. If you do so, you could lock yourself out.
Stow luggage or loads preferably in the luggage
compartment. Observe the loading guidelines
(Y page 305). 90

Tailgate obstruction detection with
reversing function
Vehicles with remote tailgate closing:
The tailgate is equipped with automatic obstacle detection with reversing function. If a solid
object blocks or restricts the tailgate when auto-
matically opening, this process is stopped. If a
solid object blocks or restricts the tailgate when
automatically closing, the tailgate automatically opens again slightly. The automatic obstacle
detection with reversing function is only an aid.
It is not a substitute for your attention when
opening and closing the tailgate. G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fingers
R over the last 8 mm of the closing path
In these situations in particular, the reversing
function cannot prevent someone being trap-
ped. There is a risk of injury.
When closing, make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R press the Fbutton on the key or
R pull or push the remote operating switch on
the driver's door or
R press the closing or locking button on the
tailgate or
R push the top of the star on the tailgate
Vehicles with HANDS-FREE ACCESS:
It is also possible to stop the closing process by
making a kicking movement under the rear
bumper. Opening and closing automatically
