Opening and closing

Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp under the interior rear-

view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-

tem is armed.

The indicator lamp flashes after locking: the

doors, hood or liftgate are not properly

closed. Even if you do not close the alerted

area, the system begins to monitor the

remaining areas, and the indicator lamp

flashes continuously after approx. 10 sec-

onds. However, the interior motion sensor

is not activated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:

your vehicle has not been disturbed while

you were away.

The indicator lamp flashes after unlocking

until the remote control is inserted into the

ignition lock, however for a maximum of

approx. 5 minutes: your vehicle has been

disturbed while you were away.

Tilt alarm sensor

The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The alarm

system reacts, e.g. in case of an attempted

wheel theft or towing.

Interior motion sensor

In order for the interior motion sensor to func-

tion properly, the windows and glass sunroof

must be completely closed.

Avoiding unintentional alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor

may be switched off at the same time.

This prevents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the

following situations:

In stacking garages

When transporting on car-carrying trains,

by sea or on a trailer

When animals are to remain in the vehicle

Switching off tilt alarm sensor and

interior motion sensor

Press the

button on the remote control

again as soon as the vehicle is locked.

The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then

flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and

the interior motion sensor are switched off until

the next time the vehicle is unlocked and subse-

quently locked again.

Comfort access*

Comfort access enables you to access your

vehicle without having to hold the remote con-

trol in your hand. It is sufficient to carry the

remote control with you, e.g. in your jacket

pocket. The vehicle automatically detects the

related remote control in the immediate vicinity

or in the interior.

Comfort access supports the following func-

tions:

Unlocking/locking vehicle

Comfort closing

Opening liftgate

Starting engine

Functional requirements

The vehicle can only be unlocked if the

vehicle detects that the remote control car-

ried is not located in the vehicle interior.

The next unlocking and locking cycle is not

possible until after approx. 2 seconds.

The engine can only be started if the vehicle

detects that the remote control is located in

the vehicle.
