Anti-theft alarm system

Description
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key on the driver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is activated
30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the radio remote control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is
not opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds
after opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm
will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:

Bonnet,

Boot lid,

Doors,

Ignition lock,

Vehicle inclination  page 40,

Vehicle interior  page 40,

A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply,

Socket of the factory-fitted towing device.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is discon-
nected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the vehicle with the radio remote control or
if you switch the ignition on.
Note

The working life of the alarm siren is 5 years. More detailed information is avail-
able by a specialist garage.

Before leaving the vehicle, check that all the doors and windows are closed in
order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm system is fully operational.

Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of the
radio remote control from other vehicles.

Interior monitor and towing protection monitoring

The interior monitor and the towing protection monitoring detect
movements inside the vehicle interior and then trigger the alarm.
The interior monitor and the towing protection monitoring are operated with the
button  . You can switch the interior monitor and the towing protection moni-
toring off if there is a possibility that movements from (e.g. children or animals)
inside the vehicle interior or if the vehicle must be transported (e.g. by train or ship)
or towed, might trigger the alarm.
