Locking separately
Turn the master key with remote control in the
lock of the luggage compartment lid beyond a
resistance point to the right and withdraw it in
the horizontal position.
This locks the luggage compartment lid and
disconnects it from the central locking system.
If you then only hand over the spare key, refer to
page
28 , no access is possible via the luggage
compartment lid. This is an advantage when
valet parking, for example.
Unlocking again and opening manually
Turn master key toward the left until the resis-
tance point: the luggage compartment lid
opens.
If you use the key to unlock the luggage
compartment lid while the alarm system
is armed, the alarm will be triggered. You should
therefore unlock the vehicle ahead of time.
If the alarm is inadvertently triggered: switch off
the alarm, refer to page
34 . <
Emergency release
This lever releases the luggage compartment
lid from inside the luggage compartment.
Closing
The handle recesses on the interior trim of the
luggage compartment lid make it easier to pull
down.
Make sure that the closing path of the
luggage compartment lid is clear, as oth-
erwise injuries may result. <
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood, or the luggage com-
partment lid is opened
> To movements inside the vehicle: Inner
motion sensor, see below
> To changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
> To interruptions in battery voltage
The system responds to unauthorized vehicle
entry and attempted theft by simultaneously
activating:
> An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a period
of approx. 30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers for approx. 5
minutes
> The high beams, which flash on and off in
the same rhythm
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
