Tow-away alarm
The alarm will last approximately 3 minutes in the form
of flashing exterior lamps. At the same time an alarm
will sound for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if
the vehicle is immediately lowered.
The tow-away alarm system is switched off automatically
if the vehicle is unlocked with the electronic main key.
If the alarm stays on for more than 20 seconds, an
emergency call is initiated automatically. See Tele Aid
on page 155.
To prevent triggering the tow-away alarm feature, switch
off the tow-away alarm before towing the vehicle, or
when parking on a surface subject to movement, such
as a ferry or auto train.
To do so, turn key in steering lock to position 1 or 0, or
remove key from steering lock. Press tow-away alarm
switch (1). The indicator lamp (2) illuminates briefly.
The switch is located in the center console.

which time it is automatically reactivated.
