Operation

When does the system trigger an alarm?

How to turn OFF the alarm

●

The alarm is triggered immediately if one

of the battery cables is disconnected while

the alarm system is active.

The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for

about 30 seconds accompanied by sound

and optical (flashing) warning signals and

will be repeated about ten times when the

vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-

ised actions are attempted:

Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button

on the key or turn on the ignition with a valid

key.

on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in cer-

tain markets, such as the Netherlands, there is

no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is

activated immediately on opening the door).

●

If, after the audible warning goes off, an-

other monitored area is accessed (e.g. the

rear lid is opened after a door has been

opened), the alarm is triggered again.

Opening and closing

●

The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-

tow system are automatically switched on

again next time the vehicle is locked.

Movement of objects inside the vehicle,

such as loose papers, items hanging from the

rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.

When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be

triggered if movements are detected in the in-

terior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's incli-

nation is changed (e.g. during transport). You

can prevent the alarm from being triggered

accidentally by switching off the vehicle inte-

rior monitoring and/or tow-away protection.

The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow

sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-

ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched

on. In order to activate it, all the doors and

the rear lid must be closed.

Note

●

If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is

activated without the volumetric sensor

function, relocking will activate the alarm

with all its functions, except the volumetric

sensor. This function is reactivated when

the alarm is switched on again, unless it is

deliberately switched off.

If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior

monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must

be done each time that the vehicle is locked;

if not, they will be automatically switched on.

●

To switch off the interior monitoring and

tow-away protection, switch off the ignition

and, using the Infotainment system, select: In-

fotainment button  /  and then the Ve-

hicle > SETTINGS > Opening and clos-

ing > Central locking > Vehicle in-

terior monitoringbutton.

●

If the alarm has been triggered by the

volumetric sensor, this will be indicated by

a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver

door when the vehicle is opened. The flash

is different to the flash indicating the alarm

is activated.

The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-

tow system should be switched off if animals

are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,

their movements will trigger the alarm) or

when, for example, the vehicle is transported

or has to be towed with only one axle on the

ground.
