If the vehicle is locked via the sensor 1, it will not be possible to unlock it again
in the following 2 seconds via the sensor 2 - prevents accidental unlocking.
The KESSY system can find the valid key, even if it was left in the front of the ve-
hicle's roof for example D
» Fig. 14 . It is therefore not always necessary to know
where the key is.
Always check to see whether the vehicle is locked. Further information about the KESSY system » page 37.
CAUTION
■
Do not use objects which might prevent direct contact between the hand and
the sensor.■
Some types of gloves can impair the function of the grip sensor.
■

Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
39
Interior monitor and towing protection
39
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 39.
› Interior of car
» page 39.
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 162, Towing 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 doors and windows
including 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.

The window can be completely opened automatically by briefly pressing the but-ton as far as the stop. Renewed pressing of the button causes the window tostop immediately.
Closing›
Pull gently on the top edge of the corresponding button and hold until the win-
dow has moved into the desired position. Releasing the button causes the win-
dow to stop immediately.
The window can also be fully closed automatically by pulling the button up to the
stop. Renewed pulling of the button causes the window to stop immediately.
Force limit
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 44.
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.
Window convenience operation
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is switched on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of the controls differs
from that shown in » Fig. 30 on page 51. The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 200 , 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.
WARNING (Continued)■ 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!■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
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.
