Features of your vehicle
Do not arm the system until all
passengers have left the vehicle. If
the system is armed whilst a pas-
senger(s) remains in the vehicle,
the alarm may be activated when
the remaining passenger(s)
leaves the vehicle. If any door (or
tailgate) or engine bonnet is
opened within 30 seconds after
the system enters the armed
stage, the system will be disarmed
to prevent unnecessary alarm.
