> If the indicator light flashes after unlocking
the car and until the remote control is
inserted in the ignition lock, but for no
longer than approx. 5 minutes: an attempt
was made to tamper with the car.
Tilt alarm sensor
The vehicle's angle is monitored. The alarm is
triggered for instance if an attempt is made to
steal the car's wheels or tow it away.
Interior movement detector
Before the interior movement detector can
operate correctly, the windows and the glass
roof must be closed.
Avoiding false alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement
detector can be switched off together. This pre-
vents false alarms, e.g. in the following situa-
tions:
> In two-level garages
>
When being transported on car-carrying
trains, boats/ships or trailers
> If pets are to remain inside the car
Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and
interior movement detector
Press the button on the remote control
again as soon as the car is locked.
The indicator light comes on briefly, then con-
tinues to flash steadily. The tilt alarm sensor and
interior movement detector are switched off
until the car is next unlocked and locked.
Convenient access*
With convenient access you will be given
access to your car, without having to take the
remote control in the hand. It is sufficient if you
carry the remote control with you, e.g. in the
jacket pocket. The vehicle identifies the corre-
sponding remote control when in the immedi-
ate vicinity or in the interior of the car automati-
cally.

Comparison with the conventional
remote control
You can control the above functions using con-
venient access or by pressing the buttons on
the remote control. Please familiarise yourself
first with the notes on Opening and closing from
page 30 onwards.
The following describes the particularities for
using convenient access.
A short delay when opening or closing the
windows and glass roof indicates that a
test is being carried out to ascertain whether
there is a remote control inside the car. You may
need to repeat the opening or closing opera-
tion.<
Unlocking
Pull a door handle. This corresponds to press-
ing the button.
On some national-market versions, only
the door on which you pulled the handle is
unlocked.
You need to unlock the other doors from inside
via the central locking button, see page 32.<
