Indicator lamp displays
>
The indicator lamp under the inside rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.
>
The indicator lamp flashes after locking: 
doors, hood, trunk lid/tailgate or rear win-
dow 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 seconds. The interior 
motion sensor and the tilt alarm sensor are 
not activated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking: 
your vehicle has not been disturbed while 
you were away.

If the indicator lamp flashes after unlocking 
until the remote control is inserted in the 
ignition, but for no longer than 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. to attempts to steal a wheel 
or tow the vehicle.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and glass roof must 
be completely closed
*
.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor 
may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following 
situations:
>
In duplex garages
>
During transport on car-carrying trains, 
boats/ships 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 enter your vehi-
cle without needing to hold the remote control 
in your hand. All you need to do is wear the 
remote control close to your body, e.g. in your 
jacket pocket. The vehicle detects the corre-
sponding remote control within the immediate 
vicinity or in the passenger compartment.
Comfort Access supports the following 
functions:
>
Unlocking/locking the vehicle
>
Unlocking the trunk lid/tailgate separately
