Opening and closing

Closing

Make sure that the closing path of the lift-
gate is clear; otherwise, injuries may

occur.

The handle recesses on the interior trim panel of
the liftgate make it easier to pull it down.

Alarm system*

The concept

The alarm system, when activated, reacts if:

A door, the engine compartment lid or the
liftgate is opened

There is movement inside the car

The car's inclination changes, for instance if
an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the
wheels or to raise it prior to towing it away

There is an interruption in the power supply
from the battery

The alarm system briefly indicates unauthorized
entry or tampering by means of:

An acoustic alarm

Switching on the hazard warning flashers

Arming and disarming

Whenever the car is locked or unlocked, the
alarm system is armed or disarmed.
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can
open the liftgate by means of the

button

on the remote control.
When you subsequently close the liftgate it is
again locked and monitored.

In certain market-specific versions,
unlocking via the door lock triggers the

alarm.

Panic mode*

You can activate the alarm system if you find
yourself in a dangerous situation.
Press the

button for at least two seconds.

Switching off the alarm:
Press any button.

flashes.

vated.
