Safety and Security

Anti-theft systems

Once the tow-away alarm is armed, a visual 
and audible alarm will be triggered when 
someone attempts to raise the vehicle.

When you lock your vehicle, the tow-away 
alarm is automatically armed after about 
30 seconds.

When you unlock your vehicle, the 
tow-away protection disarms automatical-
ly.

To prevent triggering the tow-away alarm 
feature, switch off the tow-away alarm be-
fore towing the vehicle, or when parking on 
a surface subject to movement, such as a 
ferry or auto train.
