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.

• No anti-theft alarm system activation occurs when:

• Ignition terminal 15 is switched on.

• Immobilizer transmits an authorized key.

• The driver door is open.

• The driver door control module is not OK.

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 vehicle is opened via Keyless Access, or

• when immobilizer transmits an authorized key.

Unlocking vehicle mechanically (emergency opening)

- Unlock vehicle at driver door using emergency key.

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.
