Tow-away protection

Tow-away protection is designed to prevent any
attempt to steal the vehicle by suspended tow
or by lifting onto a trailer.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is raised or
tilted in any way.
Tow-away protection is armed approximately
30 seconds after the vehicle has been locked
and is disarmed when the vehicle is unlocked.
Disabling tow-away protection
Disable tow-away protection manually if your
vehicle is being transported, e.g. loaded onto a
ferry or vehicle transporter or is parked on a
movable surface, e.g. in a split-level garage.
1. To disable tow-away protection, switch off
the ignition, open the driver's door and
press the button (arrowed) on the rear edge
of the driver's door. The light in the switch
will illuminate to indicate that tow-away
protection has been disabled.
NOTE: You cannot disable tow-away
protection if the ignition is switched on.
2. Close the driver's door and lock the vehicle
(using the keyless system or the key fob).
Tow-away protection remains disabled until
you unlock the vehicle.
