Avoiding
unwanted alarm
The tilt alarm and interior motion sensors
may be turned off at the same time. This
will prevent unwanted alarms, e.g. in
duplex garages or when on car transport
trains:
Lock the vehicle twice – activating:
Press button 2 of the remote control twice
in succession, see page
or
lock with the key twice, see page
The indicator lamp goes from fast blinking
to regular blinking. After approx. ten sec-
onds the indicator lamp changes to con-
stant flashing. The tilt alarm and interior
motion sensors are deactivated until the
system is disarmed.
Interior motion sensor
Transmitter and receiver of the interior
motion sensor system are found under a
cover in the vehicle roof.
For the interior motion sensor to function
properly, the windows, sliding/tilt sunroof
and doors must be closed.
Turn off the interior motion sensor – see
previous column – if
>children or animals remain in the vehicle
>windows or the sliding/tilt sunroof
remain open.
The tilt alarm and interior motion
sensors are inadvertently turned off if
the convenience closing of windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof is interrupted in the
first 10 seconds and then restarted. The
alarm must then be disarmed and reacti-
vated.
