The alarm is automatically enabled when you lock the car and disabled when you unlock the car with the standard key or key tag.
If you unlock the car using the detachable key blade, the alarm will sound until you put the key on the backup key reader in the tunnel console's cup holder.
Alarm indicator
The alarm indicator is a red light located in the centre of the dashboard, just in front of the windscreen. The indicator confirms when the alarm is enabled with a flashing red light.
Triggering the alarm
When armed, the alarm will trigger if:
- a door, the bonnet or the boot is opened.
- the battery or siren is disconnected.
Once the alarm is triggered, the following happens:
- The alarm sound starts.
- The alarm indicator and the warning lights will flash for up to 5 minutes.
- The alarm cycle restarts several times over if whatever triggered the alarm isn't resolved.
Stopping the alarm
Unlocking the car while the alarm is triggered will stop any alarm sounds and lights. The alarm indicator will continue to flash rapidly for some time to highlight that there was a recent potential security issue.
Important
Do not make any changes or additions to the alarm system, or it may not work properly.
