ALARM SYSTEM

The concept
The alarm system reacts if:
A door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened
There is any movement inside the vehicle
– interior motion sensor
There is a change in the tilt angle of the
vehicle, e.g. during attempts to steal
wheels or tow away the vehicle
There is interruption of the battery volt-
age.
Depending on the country-specific version,
the alarm system signals unauthorized
entry or tampering in different ways:
Acoustic alarm for 30 seconds
Turning on the hazard warning flashers
for approx. five minutes.
To arm and disarm the alarm system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked via
the driver's door lock or with the remote
control, the alarm system is also simulta-
neously armed or disarmed.
The interior motion and tilt alarm sensors
are also activated with the closing action.
The alarm system cannot be armed if
the driver's door is not properly
closed.
In some country-specific versions the alarm
system can only be operated with the
remote control.
Unlocking these vehicles with the key trig-
gers the alarm.
To stop the alarm:
Press button 1 – unlock –
or
turn the ignition key to position 1.
Indicator lamp
Alarm system:
Indicator lamp in the wiper system lever
changes after 10 seconds from fast blink-
ing to constant flashing:
The system is activated
Indicator lamp does not react:
Doors, bonnet or tailgate are not prop-
erly closed.
Even if these are not closed any more,
the alarm system is activated and
secures the remaining part of the vehi-
cle. If everything is closed, the indicator
lamp changes after 10 seconds from fast
blinking to constant flashing
