Alarm system
*
The concept
The vehicle's alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the lug-
gage compartment lid is opened
> To motion within the passenger com-
partment (interior motion sensor)
> To a change in the inclination of the
vehicle, e.g. during an attempted
wheel theft of unauthorized towing
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The alarm system signals unauthorized
access to the vehicle or an attempted
theft in different ways:
> Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
> Activating the hazard warning flash-
ers for approx. five minutes
*
.
To activate and deactivate the
alarm system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
by using a key or with the remote con-
trol, the alarm system is also simulta-
neously armed or disarmed.
The interior motion sensor is activated
approx. 30 seconds after you have fin-
ished locking the car.
If the alarm system has been armed
correctly, the hazard warning flashers
cycle once. An acoustic warning signal
sounds at the same time.
You can have various confirmation
messages set to inform you that
the alarm system has been armed or
disarmed.
<
You can also open the luggage com-
partment lid when the system is armed
by pressing button 3 of the remote con-
trol (refer to page
37 ). When it is closed,
the lid is once again secured.
Indicator lamp displays
The indicator lamp is located under the
inside rearview mirror.
> When the indicator lamp flashes
continuously: The system is armed
> The indicator lamp flashes when it is
armed: The door(s), the hood or lug-
gage compartment lid are not com-
pletely closed. Even if you do not
close the alerted area, the system be-
gins to monitor the remaining areas,
and the indicator lamp flashes contin-
uously after 10 seconds. However,
the interior motion sensor is not
activated
> If the indicator lamp goes out when
the system is disarmed: No manipula-
tion or attempted intrusions have
been detected in the period since the
system was armed
