General information

When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with the remote control or at the door lock*, the alarm system is armed or disarmed at the same time.

Door lock and armed alarm system

Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the alarm on some country-specific versions.

The trunk lid can be opened using the remote control, even if the alarm system is armed.

Press the button on the remote control for approx. 1 second and release.

After the trunk lid is closed, it is locked and monitored again by the alarm system. The hazard warning system flashes once.

In some vehicle equipment variants, the trunk lid can only be opened using the remote control if the vehicle was unlocked first.
