Opening and closing
●
The t
urn s
ign
al 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 accompanied by sound
and optical (flashing) warning signals and
will be repeated about ten times when the
vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-
ised actions are attempted:
●
Opening a door that is mechanically un-
locked using the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
certain 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.
●
The bonnet is opened.
●
The rear lid is opened.
●
When the ignition is switched on with a
non-authorised key.
●
When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
●
Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with interior monitoring ››› page 136).
●
When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-tow system ››› page 136).
●
When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-tow sy
stem ››› page 136).
●
When the vehic
le is transported on a ferry
or by rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring ››› page 136).
●
When a trailer connected to the anti-theft
alarm system is disconnected.
How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button
on the key or turn on the ignition with a valid
key.
Note
●
After 28 d
ays, 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 alarm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button .
●
If the driver door is unlocked mechanically
with the key, only the driver door is unlocked,
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 activa-
ted.
●
If the v
ehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft alarm will not operate cor-
rectly.
●
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.
