Alarm system
*
>If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is dis-
armed: An attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the in-
dicator lamp will flash continuously.Avoiding an unintentional alarmThe tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered (in garages
with elevator ramps, for instance), or
when the vehicle is transported by
trailer or train:
Lock the vehicle twice (= arm the sys-
tem). Press button 2 on the remote con-
trol twice in succession or lock the
vehicle twice with the key (refer to
page 36).
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.
Interior motion sensorThe transmitter and receiver of the inte-
rior motion sensor are located in a trim
panel in the vehicle's roof.
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof must be completely
closed.
However, you should switch off the inte-
rior motion sensor (see previous column
under the heading "Avoiding an unin-
tentional alarm") if you wish to leave the
windows or sliding/tilt sunroof open.460de159
The tilt sensor and interior motion
sensor are deactivated if the con-
venience closing mode for the windows
and the sliding/tilt sunroof is interrupted
within the first 10 seconds and then
reinitiated. If this happens, you must
disarm the system and then re-arm it.<
