NOTE
Remember that the alarm is activated
•
when the car is locked.
If any of the doors are opened from the
•
inside then the alarm is triggered.
Automatic arming and rearming of the
alarm
Automatic rearming of the alarm prevents the car
being left with the alarm disarmed unintentionally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control key
(which disarms the alarm) but none of the doors
or the tailgate is opened within two minutes, then
the alarm is automatically re-armed. The car is
relocked at the same time.
In certain markets, the alarm is armed automati-
cally after a certain delay after the driver's door
has been opened and closed without being
locked.
* Option/accessory.
