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 unlocking and opening the driver’s
door with the mechanical key
ț someone opens a door from the inside
if the vehicle was locked from the out-
side with the SmartKey

emergency release button
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 central locking switch ( ୴ page 25)
begins to flash after arming the alarm sys-
tem.
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 225) 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, a door or the trunk lid may
not be properly closed.
Close the respective element and lock
the vehicle again.
