When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm, if the following
unauthorised actions are carried out when
the vehicle is locked:
● Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the
vehicl
e key without switching on the ignition
in the next 15 seconds (in certain markets,
such as the Netherlands, the alarm is activa-
ted immediately).
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated
key.
● Mo

vements in the driving compartment
(vehicl
es with a volume sensor).
● Towing of the vehicle 1)
.
● Vehicle tilt angle 1)
.
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Battery handling.
In this c
ase, the acoustic signals will go off
and the turn signal will flash for approximate-
ly 30 seconds. This cycle may be repeated up
to 10 times depending on the country. Opening all the doors in manual mode
In vehic

les without an alarm, when opening
the driver door manually, all doors are
opened.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the
key in the opening direction, open the door
and switch the ignition on, or press the un-
lock button  on the remote control.
In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm
system, you have 15 seconds to insert the
key in the ignition lock and activate the igni-
tion if the vehicle is opened using the driver
door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec.
and the ignition will be blocked. Note
● Aft er 28 d

ays, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from
draining if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
● The alarm will trigger again if attempts are
made t
o open another protection zone.
● The alarm system can be activated or deac-
tivated u
sing the radio frequency remote con-
trol ››› page 130. ●
The anti-theft a

larm is not activated when
the vehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button .
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft a
larm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batter
y is disconnected or not working for
any reason.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the batter
y cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-

Operation
mechanically, the time period from when
the door i s
opened u
ntil the key is inserted
into the contact should not exceed 15 sec-
onds, otherwise the alarm will be triggered.
– Press the button  on the remote c
ontrol
twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed 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 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. False alarms
Interior monitorin

g will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully),
● Sliding sunroof open (partially or complete-
ly),
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v

ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, 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.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric 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.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle. ●
If on activ atin

g the alarm, any door or the
rear lid is open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-
torin
g and anti-t

ow system* When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be
trigg
er

ed if movements are detected in the
interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's in-
clination is changed (e.g. during transport).
You can prevent the alarm from being trig-
gered accidentally by switching off the vehi-
cle interior monitoring and/or tow-away pro-
tection.
– To switch off the interior monitoring and
to w-

away protection, switch off the ignition

injurie

s/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensurin

Sunroof* Intr oduction WARNING
If the sunroof is used negligently or without
pa y
ing due attention, it can cause serious in-
jury.
● Open or close the sunroof and the sun blind
only when no one i
s in their path of move-
ment.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when exitin
g.
● Never leave a child or any other person who
may
need help in the vehicle, especially if
they have access to the vehicle key. If using
they key unattended, they could lock the ve-
hicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition
and activate the sunroof.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or close the s
unroof during a short
space of time provided that neither the driver
nor passenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To pr ev

ent damage, during winter tempera-
tures remove any ice or snow that might be
on the car roof before opening the sunroof or
adjusting the tilt position.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in case of rain-
fal
l, always close the sunroof. With the sun-
roof open or in a tilted position, water can en- ter the interior and can cause considerable
dam
ag

e to the electrical system. As a result,
other damage can occur in the vehicle. Note
● Le av

es and other loose objects that accu-
mulate on the sunroof rails should be regular-
ly cleaned away either by hand or with a vac-
uum.
● If the sunroof does not work correctly, the
anti-trap fu
nction will not work either. Con-
tact a specialised workshop. Opening and closing the sunroof

nr
oof encounters resistance or an obstacle
when closing, it reopens immediately.
● Check why the sunroof did not close.
● Try to close the sunroof again.
