Market Adaptations

In the following markets there are certain differences in alarm function. These differences depend on the market for which the vehicle is adapted. The differences are primarily due to different requirements from insurance companies and authorities. The functions are regulated in the vehicle's configuration file.

• British and Swedish markets.  If the alarm is triggered the central electronic module (CEM) carries out an alarm cycle. If the cause of the alarm persists, for example an open door that triggered the alarm is still open, a further alarm cycle is carried out. This is repeated up to ten times.
• USA/Canada.  In this market there is a "slam-lock arming" function. This means that the vehicle can be locked with the central locking button on either of the front doors even though the door on which the button is pressed is still open. Doors, the hood, trunk lid or tailgate will be locked. The alarm is activated as soon as the last front door is closed.
• Israel/Belgium.  In this market there is an automatic alarm activation function. If the vehicle has been driven, the engine turned off, the ignition is in position 0 or the remote key is out of the starter module and the vehicle has not been locked, the alarm will automatically be activated after 90 seconds. For the alarm to activate all doors etc. with sensors must be closed and the driver's door must have been opened and closed at least once. When the alarm has been activated, this is indicated by the turn signal lamps flashing.
  NOTE: Due to a new environmental regulatory requirement in Israel that forbids alarm sirens on cars, the alarm will be withdrawn on the Israeli market as of structure week 2011 30-.
• Hong Kong.  The panic alarm's function is limited to only light indication. No audible signal is given.
