SafeLock prevents the doors from behind opened from inside as well as win-
dow operation. This makes it more difficult for anyone to break into the vehi-
cle.

SafeLock switches on when the vehicle is locked.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.
SAFE interlock. note! Log book!CHECK SAFELOCK
Switch-on display
With the activated SafeLock, the warning light in the driver´s door flashes for 2
seconds in rapid succession, this then starts to flash at longer intervals.
Switching off ▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection
» page 58 .
The warning light in the driver´s door flashes fast for about 2 seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The safelock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or
open a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!

Read and observe and on page 52 first.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the doors can be equipped with one protec-

of the door edge from damage. When the door closes the protective strip re-
tracts.
Removing and installing the protection strip
The protective strip may be replaced if damaged.

Open the door approximately 15 cm wide and push in the strip. Otherwise, it
is not possible to close the door and there is a risk of damage to the strip and
the door.
If any part of an broken protective strip remains in the mounting, seek assis-
tance from a specialist garage.
WARNINGWhen handling the protective strip, exercise extreme caution to avoid
pinching of fingers or other body parts by the door - there is danger of in-
jury!
CAUTION
Do not open the vehicle door too hastily or abruptly. If the door is swung too
strongly against an obstacle, the strip cannot prevent damage - there is a risk
of damage to the strip and the door.

58The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.

The alarm is triggered when one of the following unauthorised actions is acti-
vated on the vehicle with an activated warning system. ▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶ Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.

WARNING■
Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the lid. Otherwise,
the lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the lid was
locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the lid open or unlatched, as otherwise exhaust gases
may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Only open and close the lid when no one is located in the opening/closing
range – risk of injury!
WARNING (Continued)■ Make sure that no limbs are caught or crushed when closing the lid - risk
of injury!■
When you open the boot lid make sure that there are no persons in the
opening area of the lid - there is a danger of injury!
CAUTION
■ Do not attempt to close the lid manually during the electrical closing process
- there is a risk of damaging the electric lid operation.■
When washing the vehicle in a car wash, we recommend that you lock the
vehicle (with the central locking button). In some car washes the boot lid might
open automatically due to the pressure action of the washing brushes - there
is a risk of damage to the vehicle interior.
CAUTION
■ Check that no objects are located in the opening/closing area which could
hinder the movement (e.g. cargo on the roof rack or on the trailer etc.) - there
is a risk of damage to the lid!■
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g. by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. Remove the snow from the lid to
re-enable the electrical operation.
■
If the lid closes automatically (e.g. under load of snow), you will hear an inter-
mittent beep.

Force limiterRead and observe
and on page 62 first.
The electrical power windows are fitted with a force limiter.
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.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, 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 not operational 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.
