Tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor
Tilt alarm sensor
The inclination of the vehicle is monitored. The
alarm system reacts, e.g. to attempts to steal
the wheels or tow the vehicle.
Interior motion sensor*
The system monitors the footwells and the
seating areas of the driver and passenger. Even
when the convertible top is open, the alarm sys-
tem including the interior motion sensor is
armed. Objects falling into the vehicle, e.g.
leaves, can trigger unintentional alarms, refer to
Avoiding unintentional alarms.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
can be deactivated at the same time. In this way
you can avoid unintentional alarms, e.g. in the
following situations:
> In duplex garages
> When the vehicle is being transported on a
car-carrying train
> If animals are to be left in the vehicle.
To deactivate the tilt alarm and interior
motion sensors
Press the button on the remote control
a second time immediately after locking.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and
the interior motion sensor are deactivated until
the vehicle is again unlocked and locked.
