Arming and disarming the alarm
The alarm is armed when the vehicle is locked.
Arming the alarm
Lock and arm the vehicle by
- pressing the lock button on the key
- pressing the marked area on the outside of the exterior door handle.
Disarming the alarm
Unlock and disarm the vehicle alarm by
- pressing the unlock button on the key
- pushing the door handle.
Disarming the alarm without a functioning key
The vehicle can be unlocked and disarmed even if the key is not functioning, e.g. if the key's battery is discharged.
Open the driver's door using the detachable key blade.
This will trigger the alarm.
Place the key on the key symbol in the backup reader in the tunnel console's cupholder.
Turn the start knob clockwise and release.
The alarm will be disarmed.
Turning off a triggered alarm
Press the unlock button on the key or put the ignition into mode I by turning the start knob clockwise and then releasing it.
Automatically arming and disarming the alarm
Automatically arming the alarm helps prevent inadvertently leaving the vehicle without alarm protection.
If the vehicle is unlocked using the key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the doors or trunk lid is opened within two minutes, the alarm will be automatically rearmed. The vehicle will also re-lock.
On some markets, the alarm will be automatically armed following a slight delay after the driver's door has been opened and closed without being locked.
To change this setting:
Tap Settings in the center display's Top view.
Tap .
Select Passive Arming Deactivation to temporarily deactivate the function.
