Automatic alarm activation
This function prevents you accidentally leaving
the car without the alarm on.
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within two minutes of disarming the alarm (and
the car has been unlocked with the remote
control key), the alarm is automatically
rearmed. The car is locked at the same time.
Automatic alarm activation
In certain countries (e.g. Belgium, Israel) the
alarm is activated after a certain delay if the
driver's door was opened and closed but the
car was not re-locked.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
±
Press the remote control key's UNLOCK
button or insert it into the ignition switch.
Confirmation is given by two short flashes from
the direction indicators.
Remote control key not working
If the alarm cannot be deacti-
vated with the remote control
key, e.g. if the key's battery is
discharged - the car can be
unlocked, disarmed and the
engine started as follows:
1. Unlock the driver's door manually and
open it - The alarm is triggered and the
siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch - The alarm is deactivated.
> The alarm indicator flashes rapidly until
the remote control key is turned to key
position II.
Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following hap-
pens:
•
A siren sounds for 25 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off. 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.
05 Locks and alarm
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 126.
