Automatic alarm activation
This function prevents you accidentally leav-
ing the car without the alarm on.
If none of the doors or the boot lid is opened
within two minutes of disarming the alarm
(and the car has been unlocked with the
remote control), then the alarm is automati-
cally rearmed, and the car is locked at the
same time.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
– Press the unlock button on the remote
control or insert the key in the ignition
switch.
Confirmation is given by two short flashes
from the direction indicators.
Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following
happens:
• A siren sounds for no more than
25 seconds. The siren has its own battery
which is used if the car battery has insuffi-
cient charge or is disconnected.
• The direction indicators flash for five min-
utes or until the alarm is deactivated.
Remote control not working
If for some reason the remote control is not
working, the alarm can still be switched off
and the car started as follows:
– Open the driver’s door with the key blade.
The alarm is triggered and the siren
sounds.
– On cars with the keyless drive system:
First remove the knob by pressing in the
catch (1) and pulling out (2).
– Insert the remote control into the ignition
switch (3). The alarm is deactivated. The
alarm light flashes rapidly until the ignition
key is turned to position II.
