ARMING THE ALARM
The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a deterrent
to unauthorised persons who attempt to
open the doors, bonnet or luggage
compartment, or remove the audio
system.
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an
unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine without a
valid key or to remove the audio system
sounds the alarm again.
Automatic arming delay
The 20 seconds arming delay begins
when the bonnet, luggage compartment
and all doors are closed.
Interior sensors
WARNING
This system functions correctly only
if all windows are completely closed.
In addition to this, the sensors
located in the interior lamp unit must not
be covered up. The system should not
be activated if any persons, animals or
other moving objects are inside the
vehicle. This system acts as a deterrent against
unauthorised intrusion by sensing any
movement within the vehicle. Unauthorised entry into the vehicle’s
interior will trigger the alarm in the same
way as the anti-theft system.
The sensors are located in the interior
lamp unit.
All except Britain and Ireland
The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the double locking system.
Britain and Ireland only
The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the central locking system.
To deactivate the interior sensors press
the switch next to the driver’s door
handle.
DISARMING THE ALARM
The system can be deactivated at any
time, even when the alarm is sounding,
by unlocking the vehicle from the outside.
The system will be deactivated if:
•
A valid passive key is located within
the detection range.
• The unlock button on the remote
control is pressed.
• A valid passive key is located within
the vehicle interior and you depress
the clutch pedal (manual transmission)

ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
without AFS
A
with AFS
B
The AFS adjusts the headlamp dipped
beam depending on vehicle direction and
speed. It improves visibility when you are
driving at night and helps to reduce
headlamp glare for oncoming drivers.
The headlamps will also move when the
vehicle is stationary and the steering
wheel is turned. To prevent headlamp
glare for the oncoming traffic, they will only
move towards the passenger side of the
vehicle.
The system will not operate when you
have switched on the daytime running
lamps or when you have selected reverse
gear. To activate the AFS when the daytime
running lamps are activated, turn the
lighting control to position
C. See
Lighting control (page 46).
A message will appear in the information
display and the headlamp indicator flashes
if the system malfunctions. See
Information messages (page 73).
The headlamps will move to a fixed central
or dipped position. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.
