Anti-theft alarm system
Introductory information
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked with the radio
remote control or the key in the driver's door . It is activated 30 seconds after
locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The alarm system is deactivated by pressing the unlock button on the radio re-
mote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
If the vehicle is unlocked by inserting the key into the driver door, the key must
be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on within 15
seconds
of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system. The alarm is triggered if
the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored: › bonnet;
› boot lid;
› doors;
› ignition lock;
› Vehicle inclination
» page 31;
› Interior of the vehicle
» page 31;
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply;
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control
or switching on the ignition. Note
■ The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
■ Before leaving the car, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors and
the electric sliding/tilting roof are properly closed to ensure the full functionality
of the anti-theft alarm system. ■ Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles. Ð Interior monitor and towing protection

protection has cooled down. ÐForce limiter of the electrical power windows
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 34.
The electrical power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the risk of
bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by
several centimetres. A

ä If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-
moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to
automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10
seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again. Ð Window convenience operation

Operation in winter
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there to
be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move
back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 35.ÐElectric sliding/tilting roof
Introductory information
Fig. 20
Control dial for the power slid-
ing/tilting roof
The sliding/tilting roof is operated by means of the control dial » Fig. 20 and only
functions when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be opened, closed and tilted for approx. 10 mi-
nutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors
is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof. Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the slid-
ing/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to
the switch position A
» Fig. 20 and pressed forward for about 10
seconds.ÐUsing the system
Comfort position
› Turn the switch to position C
» Fig. 20 on page 36. Opening fully

Closing
› Turn the switch to position A
» Fig. 20 on page 36.
Force limiter
The sliding/tilting roof is fitted with a force limiter. If an obstacle (e.g. ice) pre-
vents closing, the sliding/tilting roof stops and opens completely. The sliding/tilt-
ing roof can be closed completely without the force limiter by turning the switch
into position A
» Fig. 20 on page 36 at the front for as long as it takes for the
sliding/tilting roof to close completely » .
When the sliding/tilting roof is in the comfort position, the intensity of the wind
noise is much less.
The sun screen is also opened automatically when the roof slides open. WARNING
Close the sliding/tilting roof carefully - risk of injury! CAUTION
During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vicinity
of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the opening
mechanism and seal. Ð Convenience operation

Switches for the hazard warning light system 42
Turn signal and main beam lever 42
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 22
on page 38. The symbols which mark the switch
positions are identical, however. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright enough
to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncom-
ing traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visi-
bility is poor. CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ In vehicles with separate lights for daylight driving lights (in the bumper below
the main headlights) these lights also serve as side lights.
■ In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð Switching lights on and off

On vehicles with central locking, the interior light is switched on for about 30 sec-
onds when the vehicle is unlocked, when a door is opened or after withdrawing
the ignition key (if the relevant switch is in the door contact position). The inner
light goes out out immediately after the ignition is switched on. A time delay switch causes the inner lighting on vehicles without a central locking
system stays on for a few seconds after the doors have been closed. The inner
light goes out out immediately after the ignition is switched on.
The interior lighting is switched off after about 10 minutes when a door has been
left open in order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle. Ð Interior lights at the rear
