Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating
54
Interior monitor and towing protection
54
The anti-theft alarm system (hereinafter referred to only as alarm system) in-
creases protection against break-in attempts into the vehicle.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual 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 54.
› Interior of car
» page 54.
› A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply.
› Socket of the factory-fitted towing device
» page 163, Towing a trailer .
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is dis-
connected 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
Read and observe
on page 54 first.
Activating
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 sec-
onds after the vehicle is locked.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
30 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
unlocked. If the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds, the anti-theft alarm
system 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
■ If the car is unlocked with the key in the driver door, insert the key into the
ignition and switch the ignition to deactivate the alarm system.■
You can switch the audible signalling of the activation of the warning system
on and off in the Maxi DOT display in the menu item ATA confirm » page 45 .
Interior monitor and towing protection

alarm. 
54Operation

The tow-away protection triggers the alarm if a vehicle is registered as being
on an inclination.
Activating
The interior monitor and the towing protection are activated automatically af-
ter the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating›
Switch off the ignition.
›
Open the driver door.
›
Press 
» Fig. 36 on the B-column on the driver's side. The symbol lighting in
the button changes 
from red to orange.
›
Lock the vehicle within 30 seconds.
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.
CAUTION
■ The opened glasses storage compartment reduces the effectiveness of the
interior monitor. To ensure the full functionality of the interior monitor, the
glasses storage compartment must always be closed before locking the vehi-
cle.■
The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked even if
the safe securing system is deactivated. The interior monitor is however not
activated.

56WARNING■ Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the
lid was locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases
may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the luggage compartment
lid, as otherwise this could crack – risk of injury!
CAUTION
If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is immediately
locked automatically when closed » page 56.
Note
■
The function of the button in the grip above the licence plate is deactivated
when starting off or at a speed of 5 km/hour or more for vehicles with central
locking. The function is restored after the vehicle stops and the door is
opened.■
Repeated opening and closing of the boot lid can lead to a temporary failure
of the function due to the overheating protection of the motors of the Twin-
door system.

58Operation

WARNING■Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehi-
cle. 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 61. If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of in-
jury.
■
Deactivating the electrically operated power windows in the rear doors is
recommended (safety push button)
S
when children are being transported
in the rear seats » Fig. 43 on page 60 .
CAUTION
■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 175 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the elec-
trical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power
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 win-
dow » page 61 .
■
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■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the win-
dows for approx. 10 minutes. After the driver's or front passenger's door has
been opened, the windows can only be operated by using button A
» Fig. 43
on page 60 .
■
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventila-
tion 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 window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Re-
peated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to over-
heat. 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 overheating
protection has cooled down.

The prerequisite for ensuring that the convenience operating feature correctly
is the automatic opening/closing of all windows is operational.
Convenience opening or closing the window using the key in the driver's lock
is only possible within 45 seconds after locking the vehicle.
The movement of the window is stopped immediately when the key or the re-
spective button is released.
Operational faults
Read and observe

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
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions.
The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these con-
ditions 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 oth-
er 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.
