Alarm (2008-2012): Function: Deactivation
The alarm is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key or using the keyless system. When the central electronic module (CEM) receives an unlock command, it deactivates the alarm and releases the central locking. On vehicles with the keyless entry system, the unlock command is transmitted from the keyless vehicle module (KVM) to the central electronic module (CEM).
This means that if the vehicle is locked and alarmed but then unlocked using the key blade instead of the remote key the alarm will be triggered.
Full protection can also be recovered if the function for relocking is activated. In which case the vehicle will be automatically locked and the alarm activated after approx. 90 seconds provided that none of the doors or the tailgate has been opened.
The alarm functions can also be deactivated locally if the button for unlocking the tailgate/trunk lid is pressed on the remote key. In that case the central electronic module (CEM) takes no account of signals from the contact breaker in the tailgate/trunk lid lock unit. The vehicle tilt sensor and motion sensor will also be deactivated temporarily. To regain full protection for the vehicle the locking button on the remote key must be pressed.
