Arming and disarming the alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control or via the Comfort Ac‐
cess at the door lock, the alarm system is
armed or disarmed at the same time.

opened, if the vehicle is unlocked via the door
lock.

with the remote control or switch on the igni‐
tion, if necessary, by emergency detection of
