Note  
Only use the key button when you require  
the corresponding function. Pushing the  
button unnecessarily could accidentally  
unlock the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is  
also possible even when you are outside

WARNING  
Never leave children or disabled persons  
in the vehicle. In case of emergency, they  
may not be able to leave the vehicle or  
manage on their own.  
Key operation can be greatly influenced  
by overlapping radio signals close to the  
vehicle working in the same range of fre-  
quencies, for example, radio transmitters or  
mobile telephones.

Note  
After 28 days, the indicator light will be  
switched off to prevent the battery from ex-  
hausting if the vehicle has been left parked  
for a long period of time. The alarm system  
remains activated.  
It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-  
rated in the anti-theft alarm* which detects  
unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-  
sound.  
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior  
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must  
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;  
if not, they will be automatically switched on.  
If, after the audible warning goes off, an-  
other monitored area is accessed (e.g. the  
rear lid is opened after a door has been  
opened), the alarm is triggered again.  
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow  
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-  
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched  
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and  
the rear lid must be closed.  
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-  
tow system should be switched off if animals  
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,  
their movements will trigger the alarm) or  
when, for example, the vehicle is transported  
or has to be towed with only one axle on the  
ground.  
The anti-theft alarm is not activated  
when the vehicle is locked from within using  
the central locking button .

Operation  
The following cases may cause a false  
alarm:  
once all the doors are closed (including the  
rear lid).  
Open and close the doors and the rear lid  
only when there is nobody in the way.  
Open windows (partially or fully).  
CAUTION  
Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or  
completely).  
When opening and closing in an emergen-  
cy, carefully disassemble components and  
then reassemble them carefully to avoid  
damage to the vehicle.  
Doors  
Movement of objects inside the vehicle,  
such as loose papers, items hanging from the  
rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.  
Introduction  
The doors and rear lid can be locked man-  
ually and partially opened, for example if the  
key or the central locking is damaged.  
Note  
If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is  
activated without the volumetric sensor  
function, relocking will activate the alarm  
with all its functions, except the volumetric  
sensor. This function is reactivated when  
the alarm is switched on again, unless it is  
deliberately switched off.  
WARNING  
Opening and closing doors carelessly can  
cause serious injury.  
If the vehicle is locked from outside, the  
doors and windows cannot be opened from  
the inside.  
If the alarm has been triggered by the  
volumetric sensor, this will be indicated by  
a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver  
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash  
is different to the flash indicating the alarm  
is activated.  
Never leave children or disabled people  
alone in the car. They could be trapped in  
the car in an emergency and will not be  
able to get themselves to safety.  
Depending on the time of the year, tem-

side the vehicle may cause the vehicle in-  
terior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both  
sensors react to movements and shakes in-  
side the vehicle.  
If on activating the alarm, any door or the  
rear lid is open, only the alarm will be acti-  
vated. The vehicle interior monitoring and  
the anti-tow system will only be activated  
WARNING  
Getting in the way of the doors and the rear  
lid is dangerous and can lead to serious in-  
jury.

Introduction  
WARNING  
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening  
and closing of the rear lid can cause acci-  
dents and serious injury.  
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors  
from being opened from the inside. This sys-  
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-  
cidentally while the vehicle is running.  
CAUTION  
This function is independent of the vehicle  
electronic opening and locking systems. It  
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-  
ted and deactivated manually, as described  
below:  
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make  
sure that there is enough space to open or  
close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a  
garage.  
The rear lid must not be opened when the  
reverse or rear fog lights are lit. This may  
damage the tail lights.  
Note  
Activating the childproof lock  
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that

compartment.

and the window closes again with difficulty or  
there is an obstruction, the automatic closing  
will stop working for 10 seconds.  
If necessary, use the safety switch to dis-  
able the rear electric windows. Make sure  
that they have been disabled.  
The sunroof only works when the ignition is  
switched on. Once the ignition has been  
switched off, you can still open or close the  
sunroof for a few minutes provided the driver  
door and the front passenger door are not  
opened.  
If the window is still obstructed, the window  
will stop at this point.  
If there is no obvious reason why the win-  
dow cannot be closed, try to close it again by  
pulling the tab within ten seconds. The win-  
dow closes with maximum force. The roll-  
back function is now deactivated.  
If more than 10 seconds pass, the window  
will open fully when you operate one of the  
buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated.  
For safety reasons, you should only use  
the remote control open and close func-  
tions within about 2 metres of the vehicle.  
To avoid injuries, always keep an eye on the  
windows when pressing the button to close  
them. The windows stop moving as soon as  
the button is released.  
WARNING  
If the sunroof is used negligently or without  
paying due attention, it can cause serious  
injury.  
Note  
If the window is not able to close because it  
is stiff or because of an obstruction, the
