Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to

The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.

Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The alarm system has its own power source, whose service life is 5 years.
