Anti-theft alarm system

Description
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal it. The system will initiate acoustic and optical warning sig-nals when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned on when the vehicle is locked with the key. The system is immediately activated and the turn signal light located on the driver door will flash along with the turn signals, indicating that the alarm and the locking security sys-tem (double lock) have been turned on. If any of the doors or the bonnet are open, they will not be included in the protection zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse-quently closed, they will be automatically included in the protection areas of the vehicle and the turn signals will flash accordingly when the doors close.

1. The turn signal light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the alarm.
2. The turn signal light will flash once on clos-ing and activating the alarm.

When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for about 30 seconds alongside a sound and optical (flashing) warning signals and will be repeated about ten times when the vehicle is locked and the following unauthorised actions are attempted:

1. Opening a door that is mechanically un-locked using the vehicle key without switching on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in cer-tain markets, such as the Netherlands, there is no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is activated immediately on opening the door).
2. A door is opened.
3. Opening the bonnet.
4. The rear lid is opened.
5. When the ignition is switched on with a non-authorised key.

CAUTION
If the anti-theft security system is switched off, the vehicle interior monitoring and the tow-away protection are automatically disconnected.

NOTE

1. After 28 days, the indicator light will be switched off to prevent the battery from exhausting if the vehicle has been left parked for a long period of time. The alarm system remains activated.
2. If, after the audible warning goes off, an-other monitored area is accessed (e.g. the rear lid is opened after a door has been opened), the alarm is triggered again.
3. The anti-theft alarm is not activated when the vehicle is locked from within using the central locking button .
4. If the driver door is unlocked mechanically with the key, only the driver door is un-locked, the rest of the doors remain locked. Only when the ignition has been turned on will the other doors be available – but not unlocked – and the central locking button will be activated.

6. Vehicle monitoring remains active even if the battery is disconnected or not working for any reason.
7. The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is disconnected while the alarm system is active.

Interior monitoring and the anti-tow system
It is a monitoring or control function incorporated in the anti-theft alarm which detects unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-sound.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switched on when the anti-theft alarm is switched on. In order to activate it, all the doors and the rear lid must be closed.
If the “Safe” ››› page 105 security system is switched off, the vehicle interior monitoring and the tow-away protection are automatically disconnected.

Activation

1. It is automatically switched on when the anti-theft alarm is activated.

Deactivation

1. Open the vehicle with the key, either me-chanically or by pressing thebutton on the remote control. The time period from when the door is opened until the ignition is turned on should not exceed 15 seconds, otherwise the alarm will be triggered.
2. Press the button on the remote control twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sensors will be deactivated. The alarm system re-mains activated.

The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-tow system are automatically switched on again next time the vehicle is locked. If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must be done each time that the vehicle is locked; if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-tow system should be switched off if animals are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or when, for example, the vehicle is transported or has to be towed with only one axle on the ground.

Deactivation through the infotainment system

1. Press the function button > Vehicle > Ex-terior > Central locking > Interior monitor-ing.
2. When the vehicle is locked now, the vehicle interior monitoring and the tow-away protec-tion are switched off until the next time the door is opened.

False alarms

The following cases may cause a false alarm:

1. Open windows (partially or fully).
2. Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or completely).
3. Movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items hanging from the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.

NOTE

1. If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is activated without the volumetric sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions, except the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is switched on again, unless it is deliberately switched off.
2. If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indicated by a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is different to the flash indicating the alarm is activated.
3. The vibration of a mobile phone left in-side the vehicle may cause the vehicle in-terior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors react to movements and shakes in-side the vehicle.
4. If on activating the alarm, any door or the rear lid is open, only the alarm will be acti-vated. The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-tow system will only be activated once all the doors are closed (including the rear lid).
