unlocked: an attempted entry has  
been detected in the period since the  
system was armed.  
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:  
Following triggering of an alarm, the  
indicator lamp will flash continuously.

Tilt alarm sensor and interior  
motion sensor

interior motion sensor:  
Tilt alarm sensor:

or tow the vehicle.

As of ignition key position 1:  
Press the button on the remote control  
twice consecutively.

Interior motion sensor:  
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 unlock-  
ing and locking actions.  
The window continues to move as  
long as you continue to hold the  
switch  
>Briefly press the switch beyond the

nism, be extremely careful that  
>You can still operate the windows as  
long as neither of the front doors has  
been opened. To open the windows,  
press the switch beyond the resis-  
tance point.  
the closing path of the window is not  
obstructed whenever it is closed.  
Otherwise, an object might not touch  
the contact strip in some situations,  
with very thin objects, for instance.  
You can disable the anti-trapping  
mechanism by pulling the switch  
beyond the resistance point and hold-  
ing it.  
When leaving the vehicle, always  
remove the remote control and  
close the doors, as otherwise children  
could operate the windows and injure  
themselves etc.<  
Because the power windows are sealed  
at high pressure to prevent wind noise  
when closed, a powerful motor is  
required for efficient closing. When  
closing the windows, always ensure  
that they are not obstructed in any way.  
Unsupervised use of these systems can  
result in serious personal injury.  
Remove the ignition key to deactivate  
the power windows whenever you leave  
the vehicle. Never leave the keys in the  
vehicle with unsupervised children.  
Never place anything that could  
obstruct the driver's vision on or next  
to the windows.<  
Safety switch  
For the convenience mode via the  
remote control or the door lock, refer to  
pages 31, 33.  
With the safety switch, you can prevent  
the rear windows from being opened or  
closed via the switches in the rear pas-  
senger area, by children, for example.  
You can also prevent adjustments of  
the power rear-seat backrests from the  
rear passenger area, refer to page 48.  
Anti-trapping mechanism  
A contact strip is integrated into the  
inner side of each of the upper window  
frame sections. If pressure is exerted  
against this contact strip while a win-  
dow is being raised, the system will  
respond by stopping the window and  
then retracting it a small distance.  
Always press the safety switch  
when children ride in the rear, as  
otherwise unchecked closing of the  
windows could lead to injuries.<
