Tilt alarm sensor

The vehicle's inclination is monitored. The alarm
is triggered, for instance, if an attempt is made
to steal the car's wheels or tow it away.

Interior movement detector

Before the interior movement detector can
operate correctly, the windows and glass roof
must be closed.

Avoiding false alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement
detector can be switched off together.
This prevents false alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

In duplex garages

When being transported on car-carrying
trains, ferries or trailers

If pets are to remain inside the car

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and
interior movement detector

Press the

button on the remote con-

trol twice in succession.

Lock the vehicle twice with the integrated
key.

LEDs flash in short succession for approx. 2 sec-
onds.
The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement
detector are switched off until the car is next
unlocked and locked.

the remote control within the immediate vicinity
or in the passenger compartment.

again until after approx. 2 seconds.

The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that the remote control is
inside the vehicle.

The doors and tailgate must be closed to be
able to operate the windows and glass sun-
roof.

Comparison to standard remote controls

In general, there is no difference between using
convenient access or pressing the buttons on
the remote control to carry out the functions
mentioned above.
