Anti-theft alarm system
Once the alarm system has been armed, a
visual and audible alarm is triggered when
someone opens
ț a door
ț the trunk
ț the hood.
The alarm will stay on, even if the activat-
ing element (a door, for example) is imme-
diately closed.
The alarm system will also be triggered
when
ț someone attempts to raise the vehicle
ț the vehicle is opened with the mechan-
ical key.
Arming the alarm system
The alarm system is armed after locking
the vehicle with the SmartKey or
KEYLESS-GO*. The turn signal lamps flash
three times to indicate that the alarm sys-
tem is activated. The indicator lamp in the
switch for the tow-away alarm will flash af-
ter approximately 30 seconds when the
alarm system is completely armed
(
୴ page 25).
i
If the alarm stays on for more than
20 seconds, an emergency call is initi-
ated automatically by the Tele Aid sys-
tem (
୴ page 257) provided Tele Aid
service was subscribed to and properly
activated, and that necessary cellular
service and GPS coverage are avail-
able.
i
If the turn signal lamps do not flash
three times one of the following ele-
ments may not be properly closed:
ț a door
ț the trunk lid
Close the respective element and lock
the vehicle again.
