until the remote control is inserted in the
ignition, but for no longer than approx.
5 minutes: your vehicle has been disturbed

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
> Engine starting
> Convenient closing
Functional requirement
>
The vehicle or the trunk lid/tailgate can only
be locked when the vehicle detects that the
remote control currently in use is outside of
the vehicle.
> The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.
> The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that the remote control cur-
rently in use is inside the vehicle.
Comparison to the standard remote
control
In general, there is no difference between using
Comfort Access or pressing the buttons on the
remote control to carry out the functions men-
tioned above. You should therefore first famil-
iarize yourself with the instructions on opening
and closing starting on page 18.
Special features regarding the use of Comfort
Access are described below.
If you notice a brief delay while opening or
closing windows or the glass roof/pan-
orama glass roof, the system is checking
whether a remote control is inside the vehicle.
Please repeat the opening or closing proce-
dure, if necessary.<
