Alarm
The alarm is enabled when you lock the car and disabled when you unlock it.
Attempting to open a locked door triggers the alarm. The car tells you when it is unlocked by folding out the door handles.
If the car is unlocked while the alarm is triggered, the warning lights and any alarm sounds will stop immediately.
Note
Locking with bonnet or boot open
If the bonnet or the boot is not properly closed, the alarm will not be fully enabled. In these cases, the alarm will only protect the doors. It won't protect the open bonnet or boot, and the car won't detect any motion inside the car.
Once you close the bonnet or boot, it will be locked and covered by the alarm.
Alarm indicator
The alarm indicator is a red light located at the front centre of the car, just inside the windscreen. The indicator confirms when the alarm is enabled with a flashing red light.
Alarm triggered
The alarm triggers when an unauthorised attempt is made to open the bonnet, boot or any door. Movement inside the car can also trigger the alarm.
- The alarm indicator and the warning lights flash for up to 5 minutes.
- The alarm sound starts.
- If whatever triggered the alarm is not resolved, the alarm cycle restarts several times over.
Unlocking the car while the alarm is triggered will stop any alarm sounds and lights. The alarm indicator will continue to flash rapidly for a few minutes to highlight that there was a recent potential security issue.
