2.3 ALARM SYSTEM (ALS-S)
2.3.1 Setting the alarm system (ALS-S)
Activating the alarm system
A short press of about one second on button (1) activates the alarm system and locks
both doors. The hazard warning lights go on for three seconds.
After a self-diagnosis of the system (which takes approximately 50 seconds) the
system LED flashes at a slow rate. See sections 'System LED' and 'Self-diagnosis' in
the chapter 'Alarm system'.
With the alarm system fully operational, the doors, cabin tilting mechanism, interior and
loading space (if this has an alarm system) are now protected.
NOTE: A long press of about two seconds on button (1) initiates comfort
locking (central locking + closing windows + activation of the alarm system).
NOTE:
– Make sure that there is nothing in the interior that can cause a false
alarm, for example moving objects in the cabin.
– A wireless network (LAN) inside the cabin has influence on the alarm
system. When a notebook PC with a wireless network is on inside the
cabin and the alarm system is switched on, the alarm can go off
unintentionally. Therefore always switch off the notebook PC with a
wireless network or switch off the interior protection before activating the
alarm system. See section 'Use when staying in the cabin' in the chapter
'Alarm system'.
– Do not press the buttons unnecessarily hard.
NOTE: In addition the ignition key or hand-held transmitter can be used to
perform a manual exterior lighting check. See section 'Exterior lights'.
