Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>
When a door, the hood, or the luggage com-
partment lid are opened
>
To movements in the vehicle: interior
motion sensor, refer to page
>
To changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>
To interruptions in battery voltage
Unauthorized operations are briefly signaled by
the alarm system:
>
with an acoustic alarm
>
by switching on
the hazard warning flashers
>
by flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
The luggage compartment lid can also be
opened with the system armed using the
button on the remote control, refer to page
When the luggage compartment lid is closed, it
is locked and monitored again.
Switching off alarm
>
Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,

Insert the remote control all the way into the
ignition lock.
Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp under the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-

The indicator lamp flashes after locking:
doors, hood or luggage compartment lid are
not properly closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to mon-
itor the remaining areas, and the indicator
lamp flashes continuously after approx.
10 seconds. However, the interior motion
sensor is not activated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
your vehicle has not been disturbed while
you were away.
>
The indicator lamp flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted into the
ignition lock, however for a maximum of
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. in case of an attempted
wheel theft or towing.

tion properly, the windows and glass sunroof
