The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against vehicle
break-ins. If an attempt is made to break into the vehicle, the system triggers au-
dible and visual warning signals (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
An alarm is triggered when the following monitored areas of the vehicle have a
fault.
›
Bonnet.
›
Boot lid.
›
Doors.
›
Ignition lock.
›
Vehicle inclination » page 36.
›

An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the alarm system is activated.
The alarm is switched off by unlocking the vehicle or switching on the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, check that the doors and windows are closed in order
to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years.
Activating/deactivating
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 36.
Activating
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the
vehicle is locked.
If the vehicle is unlocked and a door or the boot lid not opened within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safe securing system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched back on. This function is intended to
prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Deactivating
The alarm system is deactivated automatically after the vehicle is unlocked. If the
vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds, the alarm system is automatically activa-
ted again.
Note
If the vehicle is unlocked 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.
