Note
♦ If the battery in the engine compartment is disconnected
whilst the vehicle is locked, or the electric cables are sev‐
ered, the anti-theft alarm system actuates an acoustic alarm
signal.
♦ For additional information refer to the ⇒ operating manual of
the vehicle.
♦ For fault finding, use the systems described in chapter “Ve‐
hicle diagnosis, testing and information system” in “Guided
Fault Finding” mode ⇒ page 269 .
♦ The tailboard is not monitored.
Activating the anti-theft alarm system
The following requirements must be met in order to activate the
anti-theft alarm system.
♦ “ATA function active” has been set
♦ Terminal 15 and terminal S have been switched off
♦ Driver door closed
Activation of the anti-theft alarm system is initiated by means of
a locking command to the central locking system.
The intelligent siren (alarm horn) receives an activation com‐
mand and, at the same time, the status of the passive compo‐
nents such as terminal 15, rotary latches, door locks, bonnet
contact and trailer is checked by the anti-theft alarm system.
When the activation phase ends, the anti-theft alarm system
has been armed, i.e. the intelligent siren (alarm horn) as well as
the passive components relevant to safety are integrated into
the safety circuit and are monitored.
The following general conditions apply:
♦ An open door is not integrated into the safety circuit until it is
closed.
♦ An open bonnet is not integrated into the safety circuit until it
has been closed for at least 5 seconds.
♦ An attached trailer, the intelligent siren (alarm horn) and the
onboard supply control unit are monitored immediately after
the end of the activation phase.
Triggering of the anti-theft alarm system is suppressed for a
lead time of 30 seconds.
Deactivating the anti-theft alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system can be deactivated in the following
ways:
♦ Opening command for the central locking system by means
of remote control with an authorised key.
♦ Switch-on of terminal 15 with an authorised key.
♦ Opening command for central locking system via lock cylin‐
der of driver door (this function can be coded).
If an authorised key is not used or detected, the time that pass‐
es after activation of the anti-theft alarm system decides on the
activation status of the anti-theft alarm system.
The anti-theft alarm system must trigger an alarm 30 seconds
after the end of the lead time if terminal 15 was switched on
