Luggage compartment
Net*
You can use the net to store smaller objects
on the bulkhead separating the luggage
compartment from the rear seats.
Do not stow objects behind the side
trim panels on the left and right in the
luggage compartment, as otherwise the
electrical parts could overheat and be dam-
aged.

Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood, or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
> To movement in the vehicle interior:
interior motion sensor
> To changing the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized vehi-
cle entry and attempted theft by simulta-
neously activating:
> An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of approx. 30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers for approx.
five minutes
> The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control or at the door lock,
the alarm system is armed or disarmed at
the same time.
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.
You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming. <
You can also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using
button 3
on the remote control, refer
to page 36 . When you close the lid, the sys-
tem is rearmed.
Unlocking vie the door lock will trigger
the alarm on some national-market
versions.
Pressing the 'Panic mode' button for a
longer period also triggers the alarm, refer
to page
36 . <
Switching off alarm
> Unlock the vehicle using the remote
control, refer to page
36
> or insert the remote control all the way
into the ignition lock, engaging the
detent.
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed
> The indicator lamp flashes when the
system is vehicle is locked: door(s) or
tailgate are not completely closed. Even
if you do not close the alerted area, the
system begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes
continuously after 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated
> The indicator lamp goes out when the
vehicle is unlocked: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been
