Fig. 1 In the roof console: interior monitoring sensors (arrows).

If movement is detected within the vehicle interior while the vehicle is locked, the interior monitoring alarm will be triggered → fig. 1 .

If the system detects that the vehicle is being raised, the towing protection alarm will be triggered.

Activating interior monitoring and towing protection

1. Lock the vehicle.

The interior monitoring and towing protection are also activated when the anti-theft alarm system is activated.

Depending on your vehicle's equipment, using a screen separator may have an adverse affect on the function of the interior monitoring.

Deactivating interior monitoring and towing protection temporarily

The interior monitoring and towing protection functions can be temporarily deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Open and close submenu . The interior monitoring and towing protection functions remain deactivated until the next time the vehicle is locked.

The interior monitoring and towing protection functions can also be switched off in the exit menu. To do this, the ignition must be switched off (→ Starter button) .

To reduce the risk of false alarms, deactivate the interior monitoring and towing protection functions in the following situations:

• If people or animals are staying in the vehicle.
• If the vehicle is being shipped, transported, or towed.
• If the vehicle is in a car wash or parked in a double platform garage.

Risks for false alarms from the interior monitoring function

The interior monitoring function will only function correctly when the vehicle is completely closed. Observe legal regulations. A false alarm can occur in the following situations:

• If one or more windows are completely or partially open.
• If objects that move easily remain in the vehicle, such as pieces of paper or mirror tags.
• If the vibration alarm on a cell phone is switched on.

It is not possible to deactivate the interior monitoring and the towing protection functions permanently.

If the doors or trunk lid are still open when activating the anti-theft alarm system, only the anti-theft alarm system will be activated. The interior monitoring and towing protection functions will only be activated after the doors and trunk lid are closed.

If the interior monitoring and towing protection functions are switched off, the SAFE lock will also be deactivated (→ SAFELOCK) .
