Alarm
The alarm provides audible and visual warnings
if anyone enters the car without a valid key.
Alarm indicator
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates the
alarm system's status:
• LED not lit – alarm not armed.
• The LED flashes once every other second –
alarm is armed.
• The LED flashes quickly after the car has
been unlocked – the alarm has been trig-
gered.
When armed, the alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
• a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment
• the car is lifted or towed away
• the siren is disconnected.
Alarm signals
When the alarm has been triggered, the follow-
ing happens:
• A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off.
• Hazard warning flashers flash for 5 minutes
or until the alarm is switched off.
If the cause of alarm activation is not rectified,
the alarm cycle is repeated up to 10 times
31
.
Movement and tilt sensors
Movement and tilt detectors react to move-
ments inside the car
32
e.g. if the window is bro-
ken or if anyone tries to tow the car away.
To avoid triggering the alarm unintentionally:
• Close all windows when leaving the car.
• If the climate control is used – aim the airflow
so that it does not point upwards in the pas-
senger compartment.
It is also possible to reduce the alarm level in the
centre display.
