Alarm - automatic re-arming

Automatic re-arming of the alarm (p. 181) pre-
vents the car being left with the alarm dis-
armed unintentionally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control
key (p. 159)(and the alarm is disarmed) but
none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within 2 minutes, then the alarm is automati-
cally re-armed. The car is relocked at the
same time.
