The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
trying to break 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).
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
» page 56.
› Movement in the vehicle
» page 56.
› Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.
› Uncoupling the trailer
» page 163, Coupling / uncoupling trainer .
If the driver's door of a vehicle with a remote control 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 radio remote control
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 working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.Activating/deactivating
Read and observe
on page 56 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
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 47 .
Interior monitor and towing protection
Fig. 38
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 56 first.
The interior monitor detects movements inside the car and then triggers the alarm.
The tow-away protection triggers the alarm if a vehicle is registered as being
on an inclination. 
56Using the system

Releasing the button causes the window to halt immediately.
Force limitRead and observe
and on page 58 first.
The electrical power window system is fitted with a force limiter.
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 be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, 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.

Adaptive headlights (AFS)
Read and observe
on page 63 first.
The AFS system makes sure the street remains lit up depending on the traffic
and weather situation.
The AFS system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle
to the driving speed or the use of the wiper.
The AFS system works as long as the light switch is in position 
» page 66 .
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam.
City mode
The light cone in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that it illuminates this and
the adjacent sidewalks, intersections, pedestrian crossings, etc. The mode is
active at speeds of 15-50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
spond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is active at
speeds above 120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
duce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain. 
66Using the system

The mode is active when the wipers operate continuously for longer than 2 mi-
nutes at a speed of 20 - 70 km / h. The mode is deactivated when the wind-
screen wipers are switched off for longer than 8 minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of
the headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the MAXI DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 47 , Settings menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, 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. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.

The low beam is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the side of the road on
which the vehicle is being driven to a greater extent.
When driving in countries with opposing traffic system (traffic on the left/
right), asymmetric headlight adjustment can dazzle oncoming traffic. In order
to avoid this, the headlights must be adjusted at a specialist garage.
You can adjust the headlights with Xenon lights in the menu of the MAXI DOT
display under the menu point Travel mode » page 47 , Settings .
Note
You can find out more information on adjusting the headlights at a specialist

Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen 
The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wipers wipe some- what later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneous-
ly at a speed of more than 120 km/h.
Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the
wiper to continue for another 3-4 wiper strokes (depending on the period of
spraying of the windscreen).
At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again 5 seconds after
the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This
function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Automatic wipe/wash for the rear window 
The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wiper wipes some-
what later.
Letting go of the operating lever will cause the windscreen wash system to
stop and the wiper to continue for another 2-3 wiper strokes (depending on
the spraying duration). The operating lever remains in position 6
» Fig. 56 .
Automatic rear window wiping
If the lever is in position
2
or

» Fig. 56 , the rear window is wiped every
30 or 10 seconds if the vehicle's speed exceeds 5 km/h.
If automatic windscreen wiping in rain is activated (the operating lever is in the position
1
) the function is only active if the windscreen wipers operate in
continuous mode (no break between each wiping process).
Automatic rear window wiping can be activated/deactivated via the MAXI DOT
display in the menu item Rear wiper » page 47 .
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wip-
ers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
› Switch on the windscreen wipers.
› Switch off the ignition.
The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they were when
switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 213.
Note■
If the operating lever is in the position 2 or 3 and the speed of the vehicle
drops below 4 km / h, the wiping speed is switched to a lower wiping level.
The original setting is restored step by step when the speed of the vehicle ex-
ceeds 8 km/h.■
The rear window is wiped once automatically if the windscreen wipers are on
when reverse gear is selected.

74Using the system

WARNING■Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other ob-
jects.■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
tus. Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not pos-
sible, at least open the window.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water.
Then consult a doctor immediately.
