The volumetricsensor is deactivated when:

• If, after deactivating the volumetric sensor, the door is locked with the
remote control or manually with the key in the door lock within less than 30
seconds the volumetric sensor is deactivated even though all other anti-
theft alarm functions remain activated.
• After this time-span the deactivation of the volumetric sensor is canceled.
• In case of relocking while the alarm was activated without the volumetric
sensor function, this relocking will cause a connection of all the alarm
functions, except for the volumetric sensor. If it was not disconnected
voluntarily it will be reactivated during the following alarm connection.
• If the volumetricsensor caused the alarm to set off this will be indicated
by flickering of the pilot light in the driver’s door when unlocking the
vehicle. This flickering is different than the flickering of the activated alarm. • If the volumetricsensor has caused the alarm to set off three times the
alarm system will no longer go off.
• Other sensors (door opening, luggage compartment, etc.) will continue to
set off the alarm.

While pressing the "open" or "close" buttons, a LED will flash on the key. If
this LED does not appear, it may mean that the key’s battery is depleted. In
this case, have the battery tested or changed at a Technical Service Centre.
When the dead-lock mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* are activated,
proceed as follows:
If the vehicle is unlocked by using the open button on the radio-frequency
remote control*, all of the doors and the boot
1)will be relocked
automatically if they are not opened within 30 seconds. However, the
locking security system and the anti theft alarm will remain deactivated
during these 30 seconds. This function prevents the vehicle being
accidentally left open following the unintentional use of the remote control
within range of the vehicle.
