Alarm - remote control key not
working
If the alarm (p. 181) cannot be deactivated
with the remote control key, e.g. if the key's
battery (p. 167) is discharged - the car can be
unlocked, disarmed and the engine started as
follows:
1. Open the left-hand front door with the
detachable key blade (p. 171).
> The alarm is triggered, the direction
indicators flash and the siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch.
> The alarm is deactivated.
Alarm signals
When the alarm (p. 181) is triggered a siren
sounds and all direction indicators flash.
•
A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off. The siren has its
own battery and works independently of
the car battery.
•
The direction indicators flash for 5
minutes or until the alarm is switched off.
Reduced alarm level
Reduced guard means that the movement
and tilt detectors can be temporarily deacti-
vated.
To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm -
e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during
transport on a car train or car ferry - tempo-
rarily deactivate the movement and tilt detec-
tors.
The procedure is the same as with the tem-
porary disengaging of deadlocks, see Dead-
locks* (p. 178).
