system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
either via the driver's door lock or with the
remote control, the alarm system is simul-
taneously armed or disarmed.
The hazard warning flashers blink once

You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming. <
You can still open the luggage compart-
ment lid when the system is armed by
pressing the remote control button, refer to

again secured.
Manual operation of the luggage
compartment lid triggers the alarm.

refer to page

position 1. Refer to page 36 .
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp beneath the interior
mirror flashes continuously:
The system is armed
> The indicator lamp flashes when it is
being armed:
A door, the hood or luggage compart-
ment lid is not completely closed. Even
if you do not close the area causing the
alert, the remaining areas are secured
and the indicator lamp flashes continu-
ously after 10 seconds.
However, the interior motion sensor is
not activated
> If the indicator lamp goes out as soon
as the system is disarmed:

sions have been detected in the period
since the system was armed

disarmed:

seating areas of the driver and passenger.

refer to Avoiding unintentional alarms,
if children or animals are to remain in the
vehicle.

Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor can be deactivated at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered, for instance in
garages with elevator ramps or when the
vehicle is transported by train.

Press the button on the remote control
twice in succession,
or
lock the vehicle twice with the key. Refer to
page

The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
