Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
42
Interior monitor and towing protection
43
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 (hereafter referred to only
as alarm).
An alarm is triggered when the following monitored areas of the vehicle have a
fault.
› Bonnet.
› Boot lid.
› Doors.
› Ignition lock.
› Vehicle inclination
» page 43.
› Interior of car
» page 43.
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 173, 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.
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
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.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
Activating/deactivating
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 42.
Activating
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 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 automatically after the vehicle is un-
locked. If the vehicle is not opened within 45 seconds, the anti-theft alarm sys-
tem is automatically activated again.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle.
Note
When the Vehicle is unlocked using the key on the driver's door, insert the key
into the ignition and switch on the ignition in order to deactivate the alarm sys-
tem.

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.
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 49. 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 – risk of injury!
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety switch)
S
if there are children in the rear seats » Fig. 23
on page 48.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 207 , De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
electrical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical pow- er window mechanism could be damaged.
■
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 49.
■
When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times.

Force limit
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 47.
The electrical power window system is 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.
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.

On models fitted with right-hand steering, the position of some of the controls
differs from that shown in » Fig. 28 on page 55. The symbols which mark the
positions of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 207 , 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 given light conditions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we
recommend 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 or de- activated in the Infotainment » Operating instructions for Infotainment , chap-
ter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .
