Anti-Theft Alarm System







Anti-Theft Alarm System, Activating and Deactivating

Activating anti-theft alarm system

Anti-theft alarm system is automatically switched on by locking the vehicle. Anti-theft alarm system is then activated immediately.

So that anti-theft alarm system does not trigger unnecessary alarms, close all windows and doors before locking the vehicle.

Deactivating anti-theft alarm system

Anti-theft alarm system is deactivated when the vehicle is unlocked via the unlock button on radio-frequency remote control, or

when the ignition is switched on.

Unlocking vehicle mechanically (emergency opening)

- Unlock vehicle at driver door.

Anti-theft alarm system remains activated, however no alarm is triggered.

- Switch on ignition within 15 seconds.

If the ignition is not switched on after 15 seconds the alarm is triggered.

By switching on the ignition, the electronic immobilizer recognizes a valid vehicle key and deactivates the anti-theft alarm system.
