Depending on the equipment, the function of
interior monitoring may be impaired if a load
guard is used.
Temporarily switching off the interior moni-
toring system and anti-tow alarm
The interior monitoring system and anti-tow
alarm can be switched off temporarily in the
Opening and closing
submenu in the Infotainment
system → page 31. The interior monitoring
system and anti-tow alarm remain deactiva-
ted until the next time the vehicle is locked.
The interior monitoring system and anti-tow
alarm can be switched off in the exit menu.
The ignition must be switched off for this
purpose → page 137.
To avoid false alarms, deactivate interior
monitoring and the anti-tow alarm in the fol-
lowing situations:
— If any people or animals are to remain in
the vehicle interior for a short period.
— If the vehicle is to be loaded onto another
vehicle, transported or towed away.
— If the vehicle is to be parked in a car wash
or a two-storey garage.
Risk of false alarms for the interior monitor-
ing system
Interior monitoring can only work properly if
the vehicle is completely closed. Observe the
legal requirements. A false alarm can be trig-
gered in the following situations:
— If one or more windows are fully or parti-
ally open.
— If lightweight items such as loose pieces
of paper or items hung from the interior
mirror are left in the vehicle.
— If the vibration alarm of a mobile tele-
phone is switched on.
Permanent deactivation of interior
monitoring and the anti-tow alarm is
not possible.
If doors or the boot lid are still open
when the anti-theft alarm is activated,
only the anti-theft alarm is activated. Interior
monitoring and the anti-tow alarm are not
activated until all doors and the boot lid are
closed.
SAFELOCK is also deactivated when
the interior monitoring system and an-
ti-tow alarm are switched off → page 81.
Boot lid
Introduction to the topic
The boot lid is unlocked and locked together
with the doors.
In vehicles with Keyless Access, the boot lid is
automatically unlocked upon opening
→ page 75.
If single door or vehicle side opening is acti-
vated in the opening and closing settings in
the Infotainment system, the button on
the vehicle key must be pressed twice to re-
lease the boot lid.
On vehicles with Keyless Access, it is neces-
sary to operate the sensor on the inside of
the driver or front passenger door handle
twice for this.
WARNING
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking,
opening or closing of the boot lid can cause
accidents and serious injuries.
·
Therefore the boot lid should only be
opened or closed when you are sure that
nobody is in its path.
·
Always check that the boot lid is proper-
ly closed after closing it. The closed boot
lid must be flush with the surrounding
body panels.
·
Always keep the boot lid closed while
the vehicle is in motion.
·
Never open the boot lid when loads, e.g.
bicycles, are secured to it. The boot lid
may close under its own weight due to
the additional load. Support the boot lid
as necessary or remove the load from
the surface.
