Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
▷
Opening of a door, the hood or the tailgate.
▷
Movements in the vehicle: interior motion
sensor, refer to page
▷
Changes in the vehicle tilt, e.g., during at‐
tempts to steal a wheel or tow the car.
▷
Interruptions in battery voltage.
The alarm system briefly indicates tampering:
▷
By sounding an acoustic alarm.
▷
By switching on the hazard warning system.
▷
By flashing the high beams.
Arming and disarming the 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.
Door lock and armed alarm system
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the alarm
on some market-specific versions.
This alarm can only be ended by pressing the
button on the remote control.
Tailgate and armed alarm system
The tailgate can be opened using the remote
control, even if the alarm system is armed.
Press the button on the remote control.
After the tailgate is closed, it is locked and moni‐
tored again by the alarm system. The hazard
warning system flashes once.
In some market-specific versions, the tailgate
can only be opened using the remote control if
the vehicle was unlocked first.
