Synchronising the remote control
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system then it
is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle are no lon-
ger synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are
actuated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or
the battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means it is necessary to synchronise the code as follows:
›
press any button on the remote control key,
›
pressing of the button means that the door will unlock with the key within 1 mi-
nute.
Anti-theft alarm system
Introductory information
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the vehicle is locked with the radio
remote control or the key in the driver's door » page 37, Interior monitor and
towing protection monitoring . The door contact monitoring is activated ap-
prox. 15 seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protection moni-
toring are activated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is opened dur-
ing activation, the monitoring is only activated 5 seconds after closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The alarm system is deactivated by pressing the unlock button on the radio re-
mote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
within 45 seconds of locking the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked within 45
seconds by inserting the key into the driver
door, the key must be inserted into the ignition lock and the ignition switched on
within 15 seconds of unlocking the door to deactivate the alarm system. The
alarm is triggered if the ignition is not switched on within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
›
Bonnet,
›
Boot lid,
›
Doors,
›
Ignition lock,
›
Vehicle inclination » page 37,
›
Vehicle interior» page 37,
›
A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply,
›
Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle with the radio remote control
or switching on the ignition.

the electric sliding/tilting roof are properly closed to ensure the full functionality
of the anti-theft alarm system.

Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of
the radio remote control from other vehicles.
