05 Locks and alarm
Alarm*
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.

Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following hap-
pens:
•
A siren sounds for less than 25 seconds.
The siren has its own battery which is used
if the car battery has insufficient charge or
is disconnected.
•
All direction indicators flash for 5 minutes
or until the alarm is deactivated.
Reduced alarm level
To avoid inadvertently triggering of the alarm -
for example when leaving a dog in the car or
during a ferry crossing - the movement and tilt
detectors can be temporarily switched off.
1. Insert the remote control key into the igni-
tion switch, turn it to key position II and
then back to position I or 0.
2. Press the button.
The lamp in the button illuminates until you lock
the car. A message is shown on the display as
long as the remote control key remains in the
ignition switch.
If the car is equipped with the deadlocks func-
tion then it is switched off at the same time, see
page 120.
Next time the engine is started the system is
reset to zero and the movement and tilt detec-
tors and the deadlocks function are then re-
engaged.
