WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children)
in the vehicle if it is locked fr
om the outside
and the “Safe” security system* is activa-
ted, as the doors and windows cannot then
be opened from the inside. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency.
Anti-theft alarm system*
Description
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
br
eak int
o the v
ehicl
e or st
eal it. The system
will initiate acoustic and optical warning sig-
nals when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
The system is immediately activated and the
turn signal light located on the driver door will
flash along with the turn signals, indicating
that the alarm and the locking security sys-
tem (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open,
they will not be included in the protection
zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-
nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse-
quently closed, they will be automatically in-
cluded in the protection areas of the vehicle
and the turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.
The turn signal light will flash twice on
opening and deactivating the alarm.
The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm 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.
Disconnection of the vehicle battery.
Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with interior monitoring
››
page 105).
When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-tow system
››
page 105).
When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-tow system
››
page 105).
When the vehicle is transported on a ferry
or by rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring
››
page 105).
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 key must be inserted into
the ignition, and 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 monit
oring and the
tow-away protection are automatically
disconnected.
