Alarm - automatic re-arming

Automatic re-arming of the alarm (p. 187) pre-
vents the car being left with the alarm dis-
armed unintentionally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control
key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of
the doors or the tailgate is opened within 2
minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-
armed. The car is relocked at the same time.
