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. 
51Unlocking and opening

CAUTIONBefore 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, whose service life is 5 years.
Alarm trigger
Read and observe
on page 52 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. 35
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 52 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.
Deactivation
›
Switch off the ignition and open the driver's door.

CAUTION
The opened glasses storage compartment reduces the effectiveness of the in-
terior monitor. To ensure the full functionality of the interior monitor, the
glasses storage compartment must always be closed before locking the vehi-
cle.

The windows can be operated mechanically by the winder attached to the re-
spective door panel.
The windows can be operated electrically from the following locations; all win-
dows from the driver's seat and also via the buttons for the windows in the
passenger door or the rear doors.
WARNING■ Always close the window carefully and in a controlled manner. Otherwise
these could cause severe crushing injuries.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 55. 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.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean (free of ice and similar) to ensure the correct func-
tionality of the electric windows.■
Always close the electric windows before disconnecting the battery.
Note
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.53Unlocking and opening

Force limiter
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
The electric windows are 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 not operational 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
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
The convenience operation for the window offers the option to open/close all
the windows at once (or only the window in the driver's door). The setting, ac-
