Opening the doors mechanically (emergency opening)
If the radio frequency remote control function fails, you will have to use the
key to unlock the vehicle. This is done as follows:
● Use the lock on the driver door to unlock the vehicle. The anti-theft
alarm system remains active, but an alarm is not triggered immediately.
● Switch on the ignition within 15 seconds. When the ignition is switched
on, the electronic immobiliser recognises a valid vehicle key and deacti-
vates the anti-theft alarm system. If you do not switch on the ignition within
15 seconds, the alarm is triggered (in certain markets, such as the Nether-
lands, there is no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is activated imme-
diately after opening the door).
Opening all the doors in manual mode
In vehicles without an alarm, when opening the driver door manually all the
doors are opened.
How to switch the alarm off
When the vehicle is unlocked via the unlocking button of the radio frequen-
cy remote control or when the key is inserted in the ignition lock.
Note
● After 28 days, the indicator light will be switched off to prevent the bat-
tery from exhausting if the vehicle has been left parked for a long period of
time. The alarm system remains activated.
● If, after the audible warning goes off, another monitored area is ac-
cessed (e.g. the boot lid is opened after another door has been opened),
the alarm is triggered again.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when the vehicle is locked from
within using the central locking button
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat then the anti-theft alarm will not
operate correctly.

Operation
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if the battery is disconnected or
not working for any reason.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is active.
Interior monitoring*
This monitoring or control function is incorporated in the anti-theft
alarm* system which detects unauthorized vehicle entry by means
of ultrasound.
The system consists of 3 sensors, 2 emitters and a receptor.
Activation
– It is automatically turned on with the anti-theft alarm, when the
vehicle is locked mechanically with the key and when the but-
ton on the remote control is used.

Deactivation
– Press the button on the remote control twice. Only the interi-

or monitoring is deactivated. The alarm system remains activa-
ted.
False alarms
The interior monitoring will only operate correctly if the vehicle is completely
closed. Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Opened windows (partially or fully).
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or completely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items
hanging from the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.
