If there is no valid vehicle key in the vehicle or one is not detected, a message will appear in the instrument cluster display.
This can occur if another signal interferes with the remote control vehicle key or if the remote control vehicle key is covered
by an object, such as a metal case.
Anti-theft alarm system
The vehicle may be equipped with an anti-theft alarm system. The anti-theft alarm system monitors the doors, the hood, and
the trunk lid. The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when you lock the vehicle. If an attempt is made to access
the vehicle without using the appropriate vehicle key, this triggers the anti-theft alarm system, which emits audible and visual
warning signals for up to five minutes.
When is the alarm triggered?
If a door that was unlocked manually using the vehicle key is opened.
If the hood is opened.
If the trunk lid is opened.
If the ignition is switched on with an invalid vehicle key.
If the 12 V vehicle battery is disconnected.
If a bicycle rack that is paired with the anti-theft alarm system is unhitched.
If trailer that is paired with the anti-theft alarm system is unhitched.
If a device is connected to the diagnostic connection when the anti-theft alarm system is active.
Switching off the alarm
1. Unlock the vehicle with the
unlock button on the vehicle key.
Or: switch on the ignition using a valid vehicle key.
2. For vehicles with Keyless Access with push-button start: when the vehicle key is in the unlocking range, grasp the door
handle ⇒ “Keyless Access” with push-button start.
The anti-theft alarm system will not work correctly if the 12 V vehicle battery is weak or drained.
If you have integrated a trailer into the anti-theft alarm system, breaking the connection to the trailer may trigger the anti-
theft alarm system ⇒ Trailer towing.
Trunk lid
Introduction
On vehicles with Keyless Access, the trunk lid is automatically unlocked when opening ⇒ “Keyless Access” with push-button
start.
If individual door unlocking or the unlocking of one side of doors is activated in the Infotainment system settings for opening
and closing, press the
button on the remote control vehicle key twice to unlock the trunk lid.
On vehicles with Keyless Access with push-button start, press the sensor on the inside of the driver or front passenger door
handle twice depending on the setting.
WARNING
Uncontrolled or unintentional release: opening and closing the trunk lid can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Do not open or close the trunk lid if anyone is in the way.
Always keep the trunk lid closed while driving.
