Antitheft alarm system
1
Indicator lamp in switch located in center console
The antitheft alarm is automatically armed or disarmed
with the remote control or the KEYLESS-GO function, by
locking or unlocking the vehicle.
The antitheft alarm is armed within approximately
10 seconds after locking the vehicle with the remote
control or the lock button at each door handle (vehicles
with KEYLESS-GO).
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that the alarm is armed.
Operation:
Once the alarm system has been armed, the exterior
vehicle lamps will flash and an alarm will sound when
someone:
• opens a door,
• opens the trunk,
• opens the hood,
• attempts to raise the vehicle.
The alarm will last approximately 2
1
/
2
minutes in form
of flashing exterior lamps. At the same time an alarm
will sound for 30 seconds. The alarm will stay on even if
the activating element (a door, for example) is
immediately closed. If the alarm stays on for more than
20 seconds, an emergency call is initiated automatically.
