1998 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E320) W210 Service & Repair Manual

1998-99 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT Anti-Theft Systems - C, CLK & E Class DESCRIPTION & OPERATION Anti-theft system is a contact controlled system. Anti-theft system is activated and deactivated by locking or unlocking doors or trunk with key or remote control transmitter. Anti-theft system is activated within approximately 15 seconds after locking vehicle. When anti-theft system is activated, an audio horn will sound and exterior lights will flash. Anti-theft system monitors radio, all doors, hood and trunk lid position. See Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 . Vehicle may also be equipped with anti-tow system. This system will trigger alarm system if vehicle is towed or raised in a manner that simulates a towing attempt. Anti-tow system can be disabled by turning ignition on and depressing switch in instrument panel. When anti-tow system is off, light in switch will come on. Anti-tow system will remain off until vehicle is locked again with key or remote transmitter. Anti-theft system is triggered when door, trunk, hood or storage compartment between seats is opened or if vehicle is lifted. When anti-theft system is triggered, an audio horn will sound for approximately 30 seconds and exterior lights will flash for approximately 2 1/2 minutes.
