ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM
The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a
deterrent to unauthorised persons
who attempt to open the doors,
bonnet or luggage compartment.
Automatic arming delay
Up to 20 seconds after arming the
anti-theft alarm system, it is still
possible to open the vehicle again
without triggering the alarm. After
that, the anti-theft alarm system
will monitor all doors, the bonnet
and the tailgate, provided that they
are closed. If a door, the bonnet or
the tailgate is closed later, the
system will monitor it after
20 seconds.

Alarm
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if
an unauthorised person opens a
door, the luggage compartment or
the bonnet. The hazard flasher
lights will flash for 5 minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine
without a valid key sounds the
alarm again.
To switch off
The anti-theft alarm system can be
disarmed at any time – even when
the alarm is sounding – by
unlocking either of the front doors
with the key or with the remote
control.
The anti-theft alarm system on the
tailgate is disarmed when the
luggage compartment is unlocked
with a key.
After closure, the alarm is once
again armed.
