The al arm i
s triggered immediately if one of
the battery cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-
to
w sy
stem* Monitoring or control function incorporated
in the anti-theft
al
arm* which detects unau-
thorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound.
Activation
– It is automatically switched on when the
anti-theft al
arm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
chanic
ally or by pressing the button on
the r emot
e c
ontrol. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted into the contact should not exceed
15 seconds, otherwise the alarm will be
triggered.
– Press the button on the remote control
tw ic
e.
The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked. The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt
sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully),
● Tilting panoramic sunroof open (partially or
compl
etely),
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v
ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor
, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Boot hatch

Lights and visibility
CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
bl a
de is not frozen to the glass before using
the wiper for the first time. If you switch on
the wiper when the wiper blade is frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blade and the wiper motor. Note
● The re ar w
indow wiper will only work when
the ignition is switched on.
● Depending on the version of the model,
when you en
gage reverse gear and with the
headlight wiper activated, this can start a
wipe. Headlight washer*
The headlight washers clean the headlight
l
en
se
s.
The headlight washers are activated auto-
matically when the windscreen washer is
used and the window wiper lever is pulled to-
wards the steering wheel for at least 1.5 sec-
onds – provided the dipped beam headlights
or main beams are switched on. Clean off
stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from the head-
lights at regular intervals, for instance when
filling the fuel tank. Note
● To en s
ure that the headlight washers work
properly in winter, keep the nozzle holders in
the bumper free of snow and remove any ice
with a de-icer spray.
● To remove water, the windscreen wipers
wil
l be activated from time to time, the head-
light washers will be activated every three cy-
cles. Rear view mirrors

arly through the rear window.
Interior mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function*
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged. Note
● The autom atic
anti-dazzle function will only
work properly if the sun blind* for the rear window is retracted and there are no other
ob
j
ects preventing light from reaching the in-
terior rear vision mirror.
● If you have to stick any type of sticker on
the winds
creen, do not do so in front of the
sensors. Doing so could prevent the anti-daz-
zle function from working well or even from
working at all. Folding in the exterior mirrors man-

WARNING
● Con v
ex or aspheric mirrors increase the
field of vision however the objects appear
smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you
use these mirrors to estimate the distance to
vehicles behind you when changing lane, you
could make a mistake. Risk of accident. ●
If po s
sible, use the rear vision mirror to es-
timate distances to vehicles behind you.
● Make sure that you do not get your finger
trapped betw
een the mirror and the mirror
base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of
injury! For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switch-
ed off when it i
s no longer needed. Other-
wise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste. Note
● If the el ectric
al adjustment ever fails to op-
erate, the mirrors can be adjusted by hand by
lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
● In vehicles with electric exterior mirrors,
the fol
lowing points should be observed: if,
due to an external force (e.g. being knocked
while manoeuvring), the adjustment of the
mirror housing is altered, the mirror will have
to be fully folded electrically. Do not readjust
the rear vision mirror housing by hand, as
this will interfere with the mirror adjuster
function.
● The rear vision mirrors can be adjusted sep-
arately
or simultaneously, as described
above.
● The fold-in function on the exterior mirrors
wil
l not activate at speeds over 40 km/h
(25 mph). 126
