Interior monitoring and anti-
t
ow alarm
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the
vehicle may have an interior monitoring
system and anti-tow alarm.
If movements are detected in the interior of
a locked vehicle, the interior monitoring
system will trigger an alarm.
The anti-tow alarm will trigger an alarm if
liing of the vehicle is detected.
Switching on interior monitoring and
anti-tow alarm
1. Lock the vehicle.
2. The interior monitoring system and an-
ti-tow alarm are also activated when
the anti-the alarm system is activa-
ted.
Depending on equipment, functioning of
the interior monitoring system may be im-
paired if a net partition is used.
Temporarily deactivating interior moni-
toring and anti-tow alarm
Depending on equipment, interior monitor-
ing and the anti-tow alarm can be deacti-
vated temporarily in the Opening and

tainment system. The interior monitoring
system and anti-tow alarm are then deac-
tivated until the vehicle is locked again.
The interior monitoring system and anti-
tow alarm can also be switched o in the
exit menu. The ignition must be switched
o for this purpose → page 140.

terior monitoring system and anti-tow

cle interior.

False alarm risks of the interior moni-
t
oring system
Fault-free operation of the interior monitor-
ing system is possible only if the vehicle is
fully closed. Observe legal requirements.
A false alarm can occur in the following sit-
uations:
— If one or more windows are fully or parti-
ally open.
— If objects that can move easily are le in
the vehicle, e.g. loose sheets of paper or
mirror hangers.
— If the vibration alarm of a mobile tele-
phone is switched on.
Permanent deactivation of the interior
monitoring system and anti-tow
alarm is not possible.
Only the anti-the alarm will be acti-
vated if doors or the boot lid are still
open when the anti-the alarm is activa-
ted. The interior monitoring system and an-
ti-tow alarm will be activated only aer the
doors and boot lid have been closed.
The SAFELOCK function will also be
deactivated if the interior monitoring
system and anti-tow alarm are switched
o.
