Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have an anti-theft alarm.
The anti-theft alarm monitors the doors, bonnet and the boot lid.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically activated when the vehicle is locked.
If the vehicle is not opened electronically with a valid vehicle key, the anti-theft alarm is triggered and emits acoustic and visual
warning signals for up to 5 minutes.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
—When a door that was unlocked mechanically with the vehicle key is opened.

—When the boot lid is opened.
—When an invalid vehicle key is used.
—If there is movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles with interior monitoring) (→ Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm).
—If the vehicle is lifted or towed (vehicles with anti-tow alarm) (→ Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm).
—If the vehicle is transported on a car ferry or by rail (vehicles with anti-tow alarm or interior monitoring) (→ Interior monitoring
