General Information
When the vehicle is locked, the vehicle alarm system reacts to the following changes:
- Unauthorized opening of a door, hood, or tailgate
- Movements in the car's interior
- Changes in vehicle tilt (e.g., wheel theft, towing)
- Disconnected battery voltage
- Improper use of the Onboard Diagnosis socket
The alarm signals these changes visually and acoustically:
- Acoustic alarm (may be suppressed depending on local regulations)
- Hazard warning system activation
- Flashing daytime running lights
Indicator Light on Interior Mirror
The indicator light shows the alarm status:
- Flashes briefly every 2 seconds: alarm switched on
- Flashes ~10 seconds, then every 2 seconds: interior motion sensor or tilt alarm not active (doors/hood/tailgate not properly closed)
- Goes out after unlocking: vehicle not tampered with
- Flashes after unlocking until ignition is on (max 5 minutes): alarm has been triggered
Opening Doors/Tailgate with Alarm Active
