Tow-away alarm and glass breakage sensor

The switch (1) is located in the overhead console.

The tow-away alarm and glass breakage sensor are part
of the antitheft alarm system.

Once the alarm system has been armed, the turn signal
lamps will flash rapidly and the horn will sound when
someone attempts to raise the vehicle, or breaks a
window and reaches into the passenger compartment.

The alarm will last approximately 3 minutes in the form
of rapidly flashing turn signal lamps. At the same time
the horn will sound for approximately 30 seconds. The
alarm will stay on even if the vehicle is immediately
lowered.

If the alarm stays on for more than 20 seconds, an
emergency call is initiated automatically. See Tele Aid
on page 166.

To prevent triggering the tow-away alarm feature, switch
off the tow-away alarm and glass breakage sensor before
towing the vehicle, or when parking on a surface subject
to movement, such as a ferry or auto train.

To do so, turn key in steering lock to position 1 and
press the OFF button on switch (1), then return key to
position 0 and remove it from steering lock.

Within 30 seconds, push left or right button on switch 1.
(On vehicles equipped with optional trip computer, push
RESET or MODE button, display shows OFF.)

Exit vehicle, and lock vehicle with remote control.

The tow-away alarm and glass breakage sensor remain
switched off until the key is inserted in steering lock
and turned to position 1.
