Alarm system 
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds: 
>
When a door, the hood, or the luggage 
compartment lid is opened 
>
To movement in the vehicle's interior – 
interior motion sensor 
>
To changing the vehicle's tilt if someone 
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the 
vehicle 
>
To interruption of battery voltage. 
The system responds to unauthorized 
vehicle entry and attempted theft by simul-
taneously activating: 
>
An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a 
period of approx. 30 seconds 
>
The hazard warning flashers for approx. 
five minutes 
>
The high beams, which flash on and off 
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming the alarm 
system 
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either 
with the remote control unit or at the door 
lock, the alarm system is armed or dis-
armed at the same time. 
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly armed by switching on the hazard 
warning flashers for a single cycle and by 
emitting an acoustic signal. 
You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming 
and disarming.
<
 
You can open the luggage compartment 
lid even if the alarm is armed using 
button 3
of the remote control, refer 
. It is armed once again when 
the lid is closed. 
Pressing the Panic mode button for a 
longer period triggers the alarm, refer 
.

Indicator lamp displays
>
The indicator lamp below the interior 
rearview mirror flashes continuously: 
the system is armed 
>
The indicator lamp flashes when the 
system is armed: door(s), the hood or 
luggage compartment lid are not com-
pletely closed. Even if you do not close 
the alerted area, the system begins to 
monitor the remaining areas, and the 
indicator lamp flashes continuously 
after 10 seconds. However, the interior 
motion sensor is not activated 
>
The indicator lamp goes out when the 
system is disarmed: no manipulation or 
attempted intrusions have been 
detected in the period since the system 
was armed 
>
If the indicator lamp flashes for roughly 
5 minutes when you disarm the system, 
or until the remote control unit is 
inserted in the ignition lock: an 
attempted entry has been detected in 
the period since the system was armed. 
Following triggering of an alarm, the indi-
cator lamp will flash continuously. 
Avoiding unintentional alarms 
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion 
sensor may be switched off at the same 
time. You can do this to prevent a false 
alarm from being triggered in garages with 
elevator ramps, for instance, or when the 
vehicle is transported by trailer or train:
