Automatic re-arming of the alarm
This function prevents the car being left with
alarm disarmed unintentionally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control
key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors or the tailgate is opened within
2 minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-
armed. The car is relocked at the same time.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
±
Press the unlock button on the remote
control key or insert the key in the ignition
switch.
Confirmation is given by two short flashes from
the direction indicators.
Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following hap-
pens:
•
A siren sounds for less than 25 seconds.
The siren has its own battery which is used
if the car battery has insufficient charge or
is disconnected.
•
The direction indicators flash for
5 minutes or until the alarm is deactivated.
Remote control key not working
If for some reason the remote control key is not
working, the alarm can still be switched off and
the car started as follows:
1. Open the driver's door with the key blade.
The alarm is triggered and the siren
sounds.
2. On cars with the keyless drive system: First
remove the knob by pressing in the
catch (1) and pulling out (2).
3. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch (3). The alarm is deactivated. The
alarm light flashes rapidly until the remote
control key is turned to key position II.
05 Locks and alarm
Reduced alarm level
To avoid inadvertently triggering of the alarm -
for example when leaving a dog in the car or
during a ferry crossing - the movement and tilt
detectors can be temporarily switched off.
The procedure is the same as with the tempo-
rary disengaging of deadlocks, see page 135
Testing the alarm system
Testing the movement detector in the
passenger compartment
1. Open all the windows.
2. Arm the alarm. Activation of the alarm is
confirmed by the lamp flashing slowly.
3. Please wait 30 seconds.
4. Test the movement detector in the pas-
senger compartment, such as by lifting out
a bag from a seat. A siren should sound
and all direction indicators should flash.
5. Deactivate the alarm by unlocking the car
with the remote control key.
Test of alarm for doors
1. Arm the alarm.
2. Please wait 30 seconds.
3. Unlock the driver's door with the key blade.
