VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
An anti-theft alarm with battery powered horn is
available as an option and includes interior monitor-
ing, anti-tow away protection and rear window mon-
itoring based on the heater wires. The alarm is
automatically activated when the central locking sys-
tem is operated.
The alarm will sound when any of the following
occur:
²A door is opened
²A door is unlocked from inside the vehicle
²The hood is opened
²The vehicle is raised at the front or rear
²The trailer wire harness is disconnected
²Movements inside the vehicle
²The central locking is unlocked by a key at any
other door than the driver's door
The alarm is functional about 30 seconds after the
vehicle is locked using the RKE transmitter or the
key in the driver's door. Activation is indicated by the
indicator lights flashing three times and the warning
lamp flashing in the switch. If persons or animals
remain in the locked vehicle, the operator should
switch off the interior monitor to avoid a false alarm.
OPERATION
The anti-theft alarm is activated/deactivated by
locking/unlocking the vehicle with the remote trans-
mitter or with the key at the driver's door. The key
must be held in the locking position for more than
two seconds. Activation is indicated by the turn sig-
nal lights flashing once. Unlocking the vehicle at one
of the other doors will trigger an alarm.The interior monitoring system included in the
anti-theft alarm is based on ultrasonics and triggers
an alarm if an object intrudes the interior of the
vehicle or if any movement is detected inside the
vehicle. For proper and effective protection, all win-
dows and the sunroof must be closed.
To switch off the interior monitoring system and /
or the anti-tow away protection, a switch with LED
indicator light is provided in the switch panel. An
alarm button enables the operator to trigger an
alarm manually and to lock all doors if they are
closed. Triggering an alarm makes the horn sound
and the turn signals flash until the alarm is switched
off.
The anti-theft alarm control unit includes a gradi-
ent indicator as anti-tow away protection. The gradi-
ent indicator triggers an audible and visual alarm if
the vehicle is lifted (to tow away or to remove the
wheels). The alarm remains effective even if the bat-
tery is disconnected as the horn is powered by its
own battery. The interior monitoring system should
be switched off if people and/or animals are left in
the vehicle.
