Arming and disarming
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with

system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid by means of
the
button on the remote control, refer to
page 21 . When you subsequently close the lug-
gage compartment lid, it is again locked and
monitored.

to page

> insert the remote control all the way into the
ignition lock.

> The indicator lamp under the inside rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-

> The indicator lamp flashes after locking:
doors, hood or luggage compartment lid are
not properly closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to mon-

lamp flashes continuously after approx. 10
seconds. However, the interior motion sen-

must be completely closed.
Avoiding unintentional alarms

> When animals are to remain in the vehicle
Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor
Press the button on the remote control
