Antitheft alarm system
1 Indicator lamp in switch located in center console
The antitheft alarm is automatically armed or disarmed
with the remote control by locking or unlocking the
vehicle.
The antitheft alarm is armed within approx. 10 seconds
after locking the vehicle.
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 3 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. The antitheft alarm system is switched off
automatically if the vehicle is unlocked with the
electronic key. If the alarm stays on for more than
20 seconds, an emergency call is initiated automatically.
See Tele Aid on page 180.
Notes:
When you unlock the driver’s door with the mechanical
key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will
sound. To interrupt the alarm, insert the electronic key
in the steering lock or press button Œ or ‹ on the
electronic key.
