SafeLockRead and observe
and on page 54 first.
SafeLock prevents the doors from behind opened from inside as well as win-
dow operation. This makes it more difficult for anyone to break into the vehi-
cle.
Switching on
SafeLock switches on when the vehicle is locked.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.
Observe SAFE interlock! Log book!CHECK SAFELOCK
Switch-on display
With the activated SafeLock, the warning light in the driver´s door flashes for 2
seconds in rapid succession, this then starts to flash at longer intervals.
Switching off ▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection
» page 58 .
The warning light in the driver´s door flashes fast for about 2 seconds, goes
out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The safelock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or
open a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!

which is in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The other doors
and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is unlocked or
touched.
Doors on a vehicle side
This function enables you to unlock both doors on the driver's side and the
fuel filler flap with the radio remote control unit. KESSY allows the unlocking of
both doors which are in the vicinity of the key, as well as the fuel filler flap. The
other doors and the boot lid are only unlocked once the door handle is un-
locked or touched.
Automatic locking/unlocking
This function enables the locking of all doors and the boot lid from a speed of
15 km/h. Opening the doors and the boot lid from the outside is not possible.
The renewed unlocking of the doors and the boot lid is carried out when the
ignition key is removed or when the door is opened from inside (depending on
the individual setting for the central locking system).

The individual adjustment of the central locking system is stored (depending
on the Infotainment type) in the active user account personalisation

Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Alarm trigger
58
Interior monitor and towing protection
58
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
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, service life of which is 5 years. In
order to ensure functionality of the alarm system, we recommend that you get
the alarm checked after this time by a specialist garage.
Alarm trigger
Read and observe
on page 58 first.
The alarm is triggered when one of the following unauthorised actions is acti-
vated on the vehicle with an activated warning system. ▶ 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.
An alarm is triggered also when the driver's door is unlocked and opened by
the lock cylinder.
The alarm is switched off by pressing the
button on the key or switching on
the ignition.
Interior monitor and towing protection
Fig. 39
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 58 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.
Both systems should be deactivated if there is a possibility that the alarm will
be triggered by movements (e.g. by people or animals) within the vehicle inte-
rior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by train or ship) or towed.

Xenon headlight
Read and observe
on page 66 first.
The Xenon headlights (hereinafter referred to as just system) use the drivingdata to automatically ensure the for the best possible light cone in front of the
vehicle.
The system will automatically operate in the following modes: urban, extra-ur-
ban, motorway, rain, fog, adjusting the lighting direction of the headlights for
road illumination on bends.
The system works as long as the light switch is in position
.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from
a specialist garage.Fog lights/rear fog lightFig. 51

Route guidance
Introduction to the subject
A route is created by starting route guidance to a destination. Additional inter-
mediate destinations can be added to the route.
The route guidance takes place as follows
▶ Through graphical driving instructions in the Infotainment display screen and
in the display of the instrument cluster.
▶ With navigation announcements.
Infotainment tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data
is incomplete or there is no data at all for the given area.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route.
CAUTION
The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g.
due to out-of-date navigation data.
