Tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor
Tilt alarm sensor
The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The
alarm system reacts, e.g. in case of an
attempted wheel theft or towing.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function 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 prevents unintentional alarms,
e.g. in the following situations:
In duplex garages
>
When transporting on car-carrying
>
trains
When animals are to remain in the
>
vehicle.
Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor
Press the button on the remote con-
trol once again directly after locking.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off up to the next unlocking and
locking actions.
Windows
To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the windows and keep
them in your field of vision until they are
shut.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key and close the doors to pre-
vent children from operating the windows
and injuring themselves etc.<
