Luggage compartment
There are four lashing eyes on the inner
corners of the luggage compartment for
securing luggage nets or securing straps to
fix luggage in position.
Also refer to Cargo loading, page 104 .
Convertible: increasing luggage
compartment capacity
With the convertible top closed, you can
enlarge the luggage compartment capac-
ity:
To do so, unfold the handle and press it
downwards in the direction of travel, refer
to arrow. This folds the convertible top
compartment floor upwards.

procedure in reverse order.
The convertible top cannot be
opened if the convertible top com-
partment floor is folded up. <
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood, or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
> To movement in the vehicle interior:
interior motion sensor
> To changing of the vehicle's tilt if some-
one attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized vehi-
cle entry and attempted theft by simulta-
neously activating:
> An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of approx. 30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers for approx.
5 minutes
> The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control or at the door lock,
the alarm system is armed or disarmed at
the same time.
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.
You can also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using but-
ton
on the remote control, refer to
page 28 . When you close the lid, it is
secured again.
Switching off alarm
> Unlock the vehicle using the remote
control, refer to page
27
> or turn the ignition key to position 1.
