Anti-theft alarm system*Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm triggers if unauthorised movements are
detected around the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. The system will initiate acoustic and optical warning signals when your
vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically connected on locking the
vehicle. For this, either rotate the key in the locking position or press button
on the radio-frequency remote control*. The system is immediately
activated and the turn signal light located on the driver door will flash along
with the turn signals, indicating that the alarm and the locking security
system (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open, they will not be included in the
protection zones of the vehicle when the alarm is connected. If the door or the
bonnet are subsequently closed, they will be automatically included in the
protection areas of the vehicle and the turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.•The turn signal light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the
alarm.•The turn signal light will flash once on closing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are carried
out when the car is locked:•Opening of vehicle with mechanical key without switching ignition on
within the next 15 seconds•Opening a door
•Opening the bonnet•Opening the tailgate•Ignition switched on with a non-validated key.•Movements in the driving compartment (vehicles with a volume sensor)•Towing of the vehicle
8)
•Tilt angle (tow-away protection)
8)
•Undue manipulation of the alarm•Battery handling
The acoustic signals sound and the turn signals flash for approx. 30 seconds.
This may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the key to the opening direction, open
the door and switch the ignition on, or press the unlocking button on the
remote control.
In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm system, you have 15 seconds to
insert the key in the ignition lock and activate the ignition if the vehicle is
opened using the driver door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec. and the ignition will be blocked.Note
•After 28 days, the indicator light will be switched off to prevent the battery
from exhausting if the vehicle has been left parked for a long period of time.
The alarm system remains activated.•The alarm will trigger again if attempts are made to open another protec-
tion zone.•The alarm system can be activated or deactivated using the remote
control. ⇒page 79.

82Interior monitoring and anti-towing alarm*
Monitoring or control function incorporated in the anti-theft
alarm* which detects unauthorized vehicle entry by means of
ultrasound.Activation
– It is connected automatically when the anti-theft alarm is acti-
vated.
Deactivation
– Open the vehicle with the key, either mechanically
9) or by
pressing the button on the remote control.
– Press the button on the remote control twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sensors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The interior monitoring and the anti-towing alarm are automatically switched
on again next time the vehicle is locked.
The interior monitoring and anti-towing alarm (tilt sensor) are automatically
switched on when the anti-theft alarm is switched on. In order to activate it,
all the doors and the tailgate must be closed.
If you wish to disconnect the interior monitoring and the anti-towing system,
it must be done each time that the vehicle is locked; if not, they will connect
automatically.
The interior monitoring and the anti-towing system should be disconnected
if animals are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or when, for example, the vehicle is transported or has to
be towed with only one axle on the ground.
False alarms
The interior monitoring only operates correctly if the vehicle is completely
closed. Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
•opened windows (partially or fully)•panorama/tilting sunroof open (partially or completely).•movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items
hanging from the rear view mirror (air fresheners), etc.Note
•If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is activated without the volumetric
sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions, except
the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is switched
on again, unless it is deliberately switched off.•If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-
cated by a flashing of the indicator on the driver door. The flash is different to
the flash indicating the alarm is activated.•The vibration of a mobile phone left inside the vehicle may cause the inte-
rior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors react to movements and
shakes inside the vehicle.•If on activating the alarm, any door or the tailgate is open, only the alarm
will be activated. The interior monitoring and the anti-towing system will only
be activated once all the doors are closed (including the tailgate).
9)The time period from when the door is opened until the key is inserted in the contact
should not exceed 15 sec., otherwise the alarm will be triggered.
