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.
Activating
The anti-theft alarm system is activated by locking the vehicle or inserting the key in the driver's door. It is activated 30 seconds after locking the door.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safelock system or
anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to prevent
the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Deactivating
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated by unlocking the vehicle. If the vehicle
is not opened within 45 seconds, the anti-theft alarm system is automatically ac-
tivated again.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle.
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.
Triggering the alarm
An alarm is triggered when the following monitored areas of the vehicle have a fault:
› bonnet;

› doors;
› ignition lock;
› Vehicle inclination
» page 36;
› Interior of the vehicle
» page 36;
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply;
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 110, Driving with a trailer .
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the car, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors and the
sliding/tilting roof are properly closed to ensure the full functionality of the anti-
theft alarm system.

Electrical power windows
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Opening/closing the window from the driver seat
39
Opening the windows in the front passenger door and in the rear doors
40
Force limiter

Window convenience operation
40
Operational faults in the automatic power windows
41
The electrical power windows can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The electrical power windows are only switched off com- pletely once the driver's door or front passenger door are opened.
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
The prerequisite for ensuring that the convenience operating feature correctly is the automatic opening/closing of all windows is operational.
WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 40. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully! Otherwise
these can cause severe crushing injuries!
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrical power windows in the rear
doors (safety pushbutton)

Force limiter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 38.
The electrical power window system is fitted with a force limiter. It reduces therisk 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.
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 againwithin 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.

The light only operates if the ignition is switched on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 25 on page 44. The symbols which mark the switch
positions are identical, however.
The low beam continues to shine while the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in the position
or
. After switching off the ignition, the low beam
is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. The side light goes
out after the ignition key is removed.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob- served » page 162 , Headlight lenses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
■
The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the light conditions. The light sensor
cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we recom- mend switching on the low beam or fog lights!
Note
■ If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.■The headlights may mist up temporarily. 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. This mist has no
influence on the life of the lighting system.■
The instruments are also illuminated when the side light, low or high beam light
is switched on. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be activated/deacti- vated in the Infotainment » operating instructions for Infotainment , chapter Set-
ting vehicle systems (CAR button) .
