The principle
The alarm system reacts if:
> A door, the engine compartment lid or the
luggage compartment lid is opened
> There is any movement inside the car: inte-
rior movement detector, see page 36
> The car's angle changes, for instance if an
attempt is made to jack it up and steal the
wheels or to raise it prior to towing away
> There is an interruption in the power supply
from the battery
The alarm system will respond briefly to unau-
thorised attempts to access the car as follows:
> Acoustic alarm
> Activation

of the hazard warning system
Arming and disarming
Whenever the car is locked or unlocked, either
with the remote control or at the door lock, the
alarm system is armed or disarmed at the same
time.
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid by means of
the button on the remote control, see
page 31. When you subsequently close the lug-
gage compartment lid it is again locked and
monitored.
On certain national-market versions, the
luggage compartment lid can only be
opened with the remote control if the car has
first been unlocked.
Unlocking certain national-market versions via
the door lock triggers off the alarm.
Pressing and holding down the button for panic
mode also triggers off the alarm, see page 31.<
Switching off the alarm
> Unlock the car with the remote control, see
page 30.
> Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Indicator light displays
> The indicator light beneath the inside mirror
flashes steadily: the system is armed.
> The indicator light flashes after the car has
been locked: the doors or luggage compart-
ment lid have not been closed properly.
Even if an item is not closed fully, the
remaining items are deadlocked and the
indicator light begins to flash steadily after
10 seconds. However, the interior move-
ment detector is not activated.
> The indicator light goes out after the car has
been unlocked: no attempt was made to
tamper with the car during your absence.
