Splitdoor

To avoid damage, make sure there is suf-
ficient clearance before opening the Split-

door.

Opening

In some market-specific versions, the
Splitdoor cannot be unlocked using the

remote control unless the vehicle is unlocked
first.
Only drive with the Splitdoor fully closed; other-
wise, the tail lamps will be obscured and driving
safety will be compromised.

Press and hold the

button in the handle

or the button of the remote control. The Split-
door is unlocked.
Using the button in the handle, fully open first
the right side, arrow 1, and then the left side of
the Splitdoor, arrow 2.

Closing

Make sure that the closing path of the
Splitdoor is clear; otherwise, injuries may

occur.

Close the left side, arrow 1, and then the right
side of the Splitdoor, arrow 2.

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 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.

Switching off an alarm

Unlock the car with the remote control.

ton on the door lock.
