Disarming the alarm
±
Press the remote control key unlock but-
ton. Two short flashes from the car's direc-
tion indicators confirm that the alarm is
disarmed and that the doors are unlocked.
Automatic re-arming of the alarm
This function prevents the car being left with
the 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 boot lid 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.
If the remote control key's batteries are dis-
charged then the alarm can be deactivated by
unlocking the driver's door manually, inserting
the remote control key in the ignition switch
and turning it to key position II.
Remote control key not working
If the alarm cannot be deactivated with the
remote control key, e.g. if the key's battery is
discharged - the car can be unlocked, dis-
armed and the engine started as follows:
1. Open the driver's door with the detachable
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
Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following hap-
pens:
•
A siren sounds for 25 seconds or until the
alarm is deactivated. The siren has its own
battery and works independently of the car
battery.
•
The direction indicators flash for
5 minutes or until the alarm is switched off.
Reduced alarm level
To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm -
e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during
transport on a car train or car ferry - the move-
ment and tilt detectors should be temporarily
deactivated.
The procedure is the same as with the tempo-
rary disengaging of deadlocks - see page 132
Testing the alarm system
Testing the movement detector* in the
passenger compartment
1. Open all the windows.
2. Engage the alarm function with the remote
control key's lock button. Active alarm
function is confirmed with a slowly flashing
alarm indicator.
