ALARM SYSTEM*

The concept

The alarm system reacts if:

>A door, the bonnet or the tailgate is

opened

>There is any movement inside the vehicle

– interior motion sensor

>There is a change in the tilt angle of the

vehicle, e.g. during attempts to steal

wheels or tow away the vehicle

>There is interruption of the battery volt-

age.

Depending on the country-specific version,

the alarm system signals unauthorized

entry or tampering in different ways:

>Acoustic alarm for 30 seconds

>Turning on the hazard warning flashers

for approx. five minutes.

To arm and disarm the alarm system

When the vehicle is locked or unlocked via

the driver's door lock or with the remote

control, the alarm system is also simulta-

neously armed or disarmed.

The interior motion and tilt alarm sensors

are also activated with the closing action.

The alarm system cannot be armed if

the driver's door is not properly

closed.

In some country-specific versions the alarm

system can only be operated with the

remote control.

Unlocking these vehicles with the key trig-

gers the alarm.

To stop the alarm:

Press button 1 – unlock –

turn the ignition key to position 1.

Indicator lamp

Alarm system:

>Indicator lamp in the wiper system lever

changes after 10 seconds from fast blink-

ing to constant flashing:

The system is activated

>Indicator lamp does not react:

Doors, bonnet or tailgate are not prop-

erly closed.

Even if these are not closed any more,

the alarm system is activated and

secures the remaining part of the vehi-

cle. If everything is closed, the indicator

lamp changes after 10 seconds from fast

blinking to constant flashing

ALARM SYSTEM*

>Indicator lamp goes out when the sys-

tem is disarmed:

No tampering with your vehicle has been

detected

>Indicator lamp continues to flash at a

slow rate after the system is disarmed:

Your vehicle has been tampered with.

The indicator lamp will not go out until

the ignition key is turned in the ignition

lock or the alarm system is re-armed.

Interior motion sensor:

>Indicator lamp does not react:

Doors or tailgate are not properly closed

>Indicator lamp flashes constantly:

Only driver/passenger window and slid-

ing/tilt sunroof is open.

Interior motion sensor is not activated.

Alarm system is armed

>Indicator lamp is lit somewhat longer

and then flashes constantly:

Window and/or sliding/tilt sunroof were

closed after the system was armed:

interior motion sensor is not activated.

Avoiding

unwanted alarm

The tilt alarm and interior motion sensors

may be turned off at the same time. This

will prevent unwanted alarms, e.g. in

duplex garages or when on car transport

trains:

Lock the vehicle twice – activating:

Press button 2 of the remote control twice

in succession, see page

lock with the key twice, see page 25.

The indicator lamp goes from fast blinking

to regular blinking. After approx. ten sec-

onds the indicator lamp changes to con-

stant flashing. The tilt alarm and interior

motion sensors are deactivated until the

system is disarmed.

Interior motion sensor

Transmitter and receiver of the interior

motion sensor system are found under a

cover in the vehicle roof.

For the interior motion sensor to function

properly, the windows, sliding/tilt sunroof

and doors must be closed.

Turn off the interior motion sensor – see

previous column – if

>children or animals remain in the vehicle

>windows or the sliding/tilt sunroof

remain open.

The tilt alarm and interior motion

sensors are inadvertently turned off if

the convenience closing of windows and

sliding/tilt sunroof is interrupted in the

first 10 seconds and then restarted. The

alarm must then be disarmed and reacti-

vated.
