Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the liftgate is
opened
> To movements in the vehicle: interior
motion sensor, refer to page 36
> To changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
> To interruptions in battery voltage
Unauthorized operations are briefly signaled by
the alarm system:
> with an acoustic alarm
> by switching on
the hazard warning flashers
> by flashing the high beams
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 liftgate can also be opened with the system
armed with the button on the remote con-
trol, refer to page 30. When the liftgate is
closed, it is locked and monitored again.
Switching off alarm
> Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page 30.
> Insert the remote control all the way into the
ignition lock.
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp under the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.
> The indicator lamp flashes after locking: the
doors, hood or liftgate are not properly
closed. Even if you do not close the alerted
area, the system begins to monitor the
remaining areas, and the indicator lamp
flashes continuously after approx. 10 sec-
onds. However, the interior motion sensor
is not activated.
> The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
your vehicle has not been disturbed while
you were away.
> The indicator lamp flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted into the
ignition lock, however for a maximum of
approx. 5 minutes: your vehicle has been
disturbed while you were away.
