Alarm system*
The concept
The alarm system, when activated, reacts if:
>A door, the engine compartment lid or the 
liftgate is opened
>There is movement inside the car
>The car's inclination changes, for instance if 
an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the 
wheels or to raise it prior to towing away
>There is an interruption in the power supply 
from the battery
The alarm system briefly indicates unauthorized 
entry or tampering by means of:
>An acoustic alarm
>Switching on the hazard warning flashers
Arming and disarming
Whenever the car is locked or unlocked, the 
alarm system is armed or disarmed.
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can 
open the liftgate by means of the  button 
on the remote control.
When you subsequently close the liftgate it is 
again locked and monitored.In certain market-specific versions, 
unlocking via the door lock triggers the 
alarm.<
Panic mode*
You can activate the alarm system if you find 
yourself in a dangerous situation.
Press the  button for at least two seconds.
Switching off the alarm: 
Press any button.

approx. 16 minutes. Afterwards, one LED 
flashes.

vated.
