pull up on it to make sure that it is
properly closed. Otherwise it
could open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving.
This is especially important if you
are trav elling with a child sitting
on the additional rear child seat
bench*.
• To help prevent poisonous ex­
haust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle, always keep the rear
lid closed while driving. Never
tra nsport objects larger than
those fitting completely into the
luggage area, because the rear lid
cannot be fully closed. �,
WARNING continued
• Never leave your vehicle unat­
tended especially with the rear lid
left open. A child could crawl into
the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut
becoming trapped and unable to
get out. To reduce the risk of per­
sonal injury, never let children play
in or around your vehicle. Always
keep the rear lid, as well as the ve­
hicle doors, closed when not in
use.
Keep the rear lid locked at all times
to prevent unauthorized access to
the vehicle.

press switch in the door pillar (see illustra­

to a workshop, lock the luggage compart­
ment separately with the master key (lock
in the horizontal position). We recommend
you use the valet key if you have to leave
your vehicle at the workshop. I

alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system triggers an
acoustic alarm and switches on the emer­
genc y flasher if it senses unauthorized inter­
ference with the vehicle.
When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy­
stem monitors and protects the following
parts of the vehicle:
• engine compartment
• luggage compartment
• doors
• factory installed radio
• passenger compartment
• ignition.
The alarm system is switched on or off
whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Simply tum the key to the lock or unlock
position or use the remote control.
The system is activated about 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator
lights on the front door window sills start
flashing. The
horn sounds briefly when the car is
locked to confirm that the alarm system is
operative and that all doors, hood and rear
lid are properly closed. If the hom does not
sound, or the indicator lights do not flash,
check all doors, rear lid and hood and close
them properly. The horn will also sound if
the door, lid and hood are closed when the
system is already switched on.
The rear lid can be opened separately even
when the system is active. When the rear
lid is closed the luggage compartment will
again be included in the alarm circuit.
When the system is switched on the alarm
will be triggered if one of the doors, the en­
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the
ign ition is switched on or the radio re­
moved.
When the alarm is triggered the hom
sounds and all four turn signals flash simul­
taneously. The engine cannot be started un­
til the system is switched off with the key
or the remote control.
