Floor mat

You can turn the floor mat over if nec-
essary, for example when carrying dirty
objects. The rubberised side can be
washed down and has an anti-slip
effect.

There are lashing points at the inside
corners of the luggage compartment to
which a luggage compartment net* or
retaining straps can be attached when
loads have to be secured.

Alarm system*

The principle

The alarm system is triggered:
> If a door, the engine compartment or

the luggage compartment lid are
opened

> If there is any movement inside the

car – interior movement detector

> If the car's inclination changes, for

instance if it is jacked up to remove a
wheel or if it is towed away

> If the power supply from the battery

is interrupted.

Depending on the national-market ver-
sion of the car, the alarm system indi-
cates unauthorised entry or tampering
in different ways:
> 30-second acoustic alarm

> Hazard warning flashers switched on

for approximately 5 minutes.

Activating and deactivating

Whenever the car is locked or
unlocked, whether with the remote con-
trol or at the door lock, the alarm sys-
tem is activated or deactivated at the
same time.

You can arrange for several sig-
nals to be provided as confirma-

tion that the alarm has been activated
or deactivated.

Even if the alarm system has been acti-
vated, you can open the luggage com-
partment lid by pressing the button on
the remote control, see page

. As

soon as you reclose the lid, the luggage
compartment is again protected by the
alarm system.

With some national-market speci-
fication cars, unlocking at the door

lock triggers the alarm.

To switch off the alarm:

Press the button on the remote control
or turn the ignition key to position 1.
