Introductory information
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.

key in the driver's door. It is activated 30 seconds after locking the door.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safelock system or
anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to prevent
the car being unlocked unintentionally.

is not opened within 45 seconds, the anti-theft alarm system is automatically ac-
tivated again.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the driver door using the key
