Alarm system

Windows

The indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.

Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.

Tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor

Tilt alarm sensor:
The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The
alarm system reacts, for example, if
someone attempts to steal the wheels
or tow the vehicle.

Interior motion sensor:
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and
panorama glass roof ‹must be com-
pletely closed.

Avoiding unintentional alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. This prevents unintentional
alarms, e.g. in the following situations:

In duplex garages

When transporting on car-carrying
trains

If animals are to remain in the vehicle.

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor:

Press the button on the remote control
twice consecutively.

The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are switched off up to the next unlock-
ing and locking actions.

Opening and closing windows

As of ignition key position 1:

Press the switch up to the resistance
point:
The window continues to move as
long as you continue to hold the
switch

Press the switch beyond the resis-
tance point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Briefly press the switch
again to stop the opening movement.

You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
