Anti-theft alarm system

Once the alarm system has been armed, a
visual and audible alarm is triggered when
someone opens

ț

a door

ț

the tailgate

ț

the hood

The alarm will stay on, even if the activat-
ing element (a door, for example) is imme-
diately closed.

The alarm system will also be triggered
when

ț

the vehicle is opened with the mechan-
ical key, see “Unlocking the vehicle”
(

page 496)

ț

a door is opened from the inside, see
“Opening the doors from the inside”
(

page 120)

Starting the engine will also deactivate the

immobilizer.

In case the engine cannot be started (yet the
vehicle’s battery is charged), the system is not
operational. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center or call
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA), or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).

If the alarm stays on for more than

30 seconds, a call to the Response Center is
initiated automatically by the Tele Aid system
(

page 331) provided that the Tele Aid service

was subscribed to and properly activated, and
that necessary cellular service and GPS cover-
age are available.
