Floor mat
You can turn the floor mat over if nec-
essary, for example when carrying dirty
objects. The rubberised side can be
washed down and has an anti-slip
effect.
There are lashing points at the inside
corners of the luggage compartment to
which a luggage compartment net* or
retaining straps can be attached when
loads have to be secured.
See also under Loading, page 108.
Alarm system*
The principle
The alarm system is triggered:
>If a door, the engine compartment or
the luggage compartment lid are
opened
>If there is any movement inside the
car – interior movement detector
>If the car's inclination changes, for
instance if it is jacked up to remove a
wheel or if it is towed away
>If the power supply from the battery
is interrupted.
Depending on the national-market ver-
sion of the car, the alarm system indi-
cates unauthorised entry or tampering
in different ways:
>30-second acoustic alarm
>Hazard warning flashers switched on
for approximately 5 minutes.
Activating and deactivating
Whenever the car is locked or
unlocked, whether with the remote con-
trol or at the door lock, the alarm sys-
tem is activated or deactivated at the
same time.
You can arrange for several sig-
nals to be provided as confirma-
tion that the alarm has been activated
or deactivated.<
Even if the alarm system has been acti-
vated, you can open the luggage com-
partment lid by pressing the button on
the remote control, see page 30. As
soon as you reclose the lid, the luggage
compartment is again protected by the
alarm system.
With some national-market speci-
fication cars, unlocking at the door
lock triggers the alarm.<
To switch off the alarm:
Press the button on the remote control
or turn the ignition key to position 1.
