Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp under the inside rear-

gate or rear window are not properly closed.
Even if you do not close the alerted area, the
system begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes con-
tinuously after approx. 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not acti-
vated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
your vehicle has not been disturbed while
you were away.

If the indicator lamp flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted in the
ignition, but for no longer than approx.
5 minutes: your vehicle has been disturbed
while you were away.

Tilt alarm sensor

The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The alarm
system reacts, e.g. to attempts to steal a wheel
or tow the vehicle.

Interior motion sensor

In order for the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and glass sunroof
must be completely closed.

Avoiding unintentional alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

In duplex garages

During transport on car-carrying trains,
boats/ships or on a trailer

When animals are to remain in the vehicle

Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor

switched off until the next time the vehicle is
unlocked and subsequently locked again.
