although access to the luggage compartment
via the interior or exteri or release buttons will
be prevented and the fuel filler flap will be
locked.
AUTOMATIC RELOCKING AND

if enabled, automatically relocks the vehicle
and arms the anti-theft system.
If the vehicle is in a locked and armed state and
the remote unlock button is pressed, but none
of the doors or the luggage compartment are
opened within 1 minute, the vehicle will
automatically relock all the doors and the
luggage compartment and will re-arm the
alarm system.

state.

of the security sensors, 2 error tones will
sound from the alarm after the vehicle is
unlocked and disarmed. If this condition
