Opening and closing
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft al
arm siren will be triggered for
about 30 seconds alongside a sound and
optical (flashing) warning signals and will be
repeated about ten times when the vehicle is
locked and the following unauthorised ac-
tions are attempted:
Opening a door that is mechanically un-
locked using the vehicle key without switching
on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in cer-
tain markets, such as the Netherlands, there is
no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is
activated immediately on opening the door).
A door is opened.
Opening the bonnet.
The rear lid is opened.
When the ignition is switched on with a non-
authorised key.
Undue manipulation of the alarm.
Switching off the 12 volt battery.
Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with interior monitoring
page 101).
When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-tow system
page 101).
When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-tow system
page 101).
When the vehicle is transported on a ferry
or by rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring
page 101).
When a trailer connected to the anti-theft
alarm system is disconnected.
How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button
of the key.
OR: turn the ignition on with a valid key.
If the driver’s door is unlocked mechanically
using the key, the ignition must be turned on
within 15 seconds of opening the door.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec.
and the ignition will be blocked.
CAUTION
If the anti-theft security system is switched
off
, the vehicle interior monitoring and the
tow-away protection are automatically
disconnected.
Note
Aft
er 28 days, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from ex-
hausting if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
If, after the audible warning goes off, an-
other monitored area is accessed (e.g. the
rear lid is opened after a door has been
opened), the alarm is triggered again.
The anti-theft al
arm is not activated
when the vehicle is locked from within using
the central locking button .
If the driver door is unlocked mechanical-
ly with the key, only the driver door is un-
locked, the rest of the doors remain locked.
Only when the ignition has been turned on
will the other doors be available - but not
unlocked - and the central locking button
will be activated.
If the 12-volt vehicle battery is run down
or flat then the anti-theft alarm will not op-
erate correctly.
Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the battery is disconnected or not working
for any reason.
The alarm is triggered immediately if one
of the battery cables is disconnected while
the alarm system is active.
Interior monitoring and the anti-
t
ow system
It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-
r
ated in the anti-theft alarm which detects
unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
