Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior monitor and towing protection
54
The anti-theft alarm system (hereinafter referred to as alarm system) increa-
ses protection against theft and break-in attempts into the vehicle.
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
Triggering the alarm
The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶ Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.
▶ Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.
▶ Uncoupling the trailer.
If the driver's door of a vehicle is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder,
then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the button on the key 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 alarm system has its own power source. The working life of the power
supply source is 5 years.
Interior monitor and towing protection
Fig. 41
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 54 first.
The interior monitor detects movements inside the locked vehicle and then
triggers the alarm.
The anti-towing detects tilts in the locked vehicle and then triggers the alarm.
Deactivate the interior monitor and the towing protection if there is a possibili-
ty of the alarm being triggered by movements (e.g. by children or animals)
within the vehicle interior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by train
or ship) or towed.

The window can be operated mechanically by means of the handle attached to
the respective door panel.
Depending on equipment the windows can be operated electrically from the
following locations; the window in the front doors or all windows from the
driver's seat and also via the buttons for the windows in the passenger door or
the rear doors.
WARNINGThe windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the ice
» page 132 , Windows and external mirrors and only then operate the electri-
cal power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power
window mechanism could be damaged.■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehi-
cle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
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.Mechanical window lefterFig. 43

Repeated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to
overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a
short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the over-
heating protection has cooled down.
ABCDEWARNING■ Power windows in the driver's door and the rear doors are equipped with
a force limiter » page 58. If there is an obstacle, the closing process is
stopped and the window goes down by several centimetres. However, the
windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
If the rear seats are accommodating people who are not completely inde-
pendent, e.g. children, it is recommended that for safety reasons the but-
tons in the rear doors are disabled with the button
E
.
CAUTION
■ In the winter, ice on the window may cause greater resistance as the win-
dow is closed. The window will stop and open again by several centimetres.■

medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we rec-
ommend not to use the seat heating. There may be difficult to heal burns. If
the seat heating is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your
journey when driving long distances, so that the body can recuperate from
the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate
your specific condition.
