Indicator light in the driver's door on vehicles with anti-theft alarm system
After locking the vehicle the indicator light fl
ashes for 2 seconds fast, then more slowly.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system page 39 is not operating, the
indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to
flash slowly after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up for
about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of the central
locking or the interior monitor* page 45. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assist-
ance.
Convenience operatio n of the windows

tion, it is possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central locking button
 or by pulling the door opening lever.

possible to open the doors with the door ha ndle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as an effective deterrent for attemp ts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing sy stem by locking twice within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes
for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash slowly again after about
30°seconds.
The safe securing system is again activate d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again.
