We recommend deactivating interior monitoring and the anti-tow alarm in the following situations:
• If any people or animals are to remain inside the vehicle.
• If the vehicle is to be loaded onto another vehicle.
• If the vehicle is being transported.
• If the vehicle is going to be towed with one axle off the ground.
• If the vehicle is to be parked in a two-storey garage.
• If the vehicle is to be parked in a car wash.
Risk of false interior monitoring alarms
The interior monitoring system functions only when the vehicle is completely closed. Comply with
legal regulations. A false alarm can be triggered in the following situations:
• If one or more windows or the glass roof are fully or partially open.
• If lightweight items such as loose pieces of paper or items hung from the interior mirror are left
in the vehicle.
• If a mobile telephone that is left in the vehicle vibrates.
• If the vehicle is being transported.
• If the vehicle is being parked in a two-storey garage.
• If the vehicle is in a car wash.
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 anti-tow alarm are
switched off
