ARMING THE ALARM
The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a deterrent
to unauthorised persons who attempt to
open the doors, bonnet or luggage
compartment, or remove the audio
system.
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an
unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine without a
valid key or to remove the audio system
sounds the alarm again.
Automatic arming delay
The 20 seconds arming delay begins
when the bonnet, luggage compartment
and all doors are closed.
Interior sensors
WARNING
This system functions correctly only
if all windows are completely closed.
In addition to this, the sensors
located in the interior lamp unit must not
be covered up. The system should not
be activated if any persons, animals or
other moving objects are inside the
vehicle. This system acts as a deterrent against
unauthorised intrusion by sensing any
movement within the vehicle. Unauthorised entry into the vehicle’s
interior will trigger the alarm in the same
way as the anti-theft system.
The sensors are located in the interior
lamp unit.
All except Britain and Ireland
The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the double locking system.
Britain and Ireland only
The interior sensing alarm is armed
together with the central locking system.
To deactivate the interior sensors press
the switch next to the driver’s door
handle.
DISARMING THE ALARM
The system can be deactivated at any
time, even when the alarm is sounding,
by unlocking the vehicle from the outside.
The system will be deactivated if:
•
A valid passive key is located within
the detection range.
• The unlock button on the remote
control is pressed.
• A valid passive key is located within
the vehicle interior and you depress
the clutch pedal (manual transmission)
or brake pedal (automatic
transmission).
• You insert the key blade into the key
holder.
The system for the luggage compartment
lid will be deactivated if.
• A valid passive key is located within
the detection range.
• The luggage compartment lid unlock
button on the remote control is
pressed.

AlarmE71401

If it stays on after starting or
illuminates when driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch the engine off. Check the
engine oil level. See Engine oil check
(page 147).
Power steering warning lamp It illuminates to indicate a
malfunction of the power
steering system. Full steering
will be maintained but you will need to
exert greater force on the steering wheel.
Have the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as possible.
Rear fog lamp indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the rear fog lamps on.
Seat belt reminder See
Seat belt reminder
(page 24).
Shift indicator It will illuminate to inform you
that shifting to a higher gear
may give better fuel economy
and lower CO2 emissions. It will not
illuminate during periods of high
acceleration, braking or when the clutch
pedal is pressed. Stability control (ESP) indicator While driving, it flashes during
activation of the system. After
switching on the ignition, if it
does not illuminate or illuminates
continuously while driving, this indicates
a malfunction. During a malfunction, the
system switches off. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician
as soon as possible.
If you switch ESP off, the warning lamp
will illuminate. The lamp will go out when
you switch the system back on or when
you switch the ignition off.
