The anti-theft alarm system (hereinafter referred to as the alarm system) in- creases protection against theft and break-in attempts into the vehicle.
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).

The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶ Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.
▶ Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.

If the driver's door of a vehicle is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder,
then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the  button on the key or switching on
the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The alarm system has its own power source. The working life of the power
supply source is 5 years.
Interior monitor and towing protection
