Panic Mode
Panic mode represents an option for the vehicle user to draw attention by triggering
alarm, e.g. when under threat from the outside or in the event of an accident.
Panic mode is initiated by pressing the trunk lid button on the remote control. the button
must be pressed for longer than 2 s irrespective of whether the anti-theft alarm system is
armed or not.
The alarm is terminated by pressing any button on the remote control. Panic mode is not
stored.
If panic mode is initiated, the line is monitored during the entire duration.
The anti-theft alarm system sends the alarm request and expects the reply from the
emergency current siren.
On completion of panic mode, the anti-theft alarm system assumes the setting that was
selected prior to panic mode.
Alarm Termination
An alarm triggered for test purposes or inadvertently can be terminated by disarming the
anti-theft alarm system or by inserting the remote control in its holder. The alarm is termi-
nated immediately. No audible or visual feedback is output.
