A micro-switch indicates that the doors or tailgate/trunk lid are fully closed. Only cars with an alarm have a micro-switch at the engine hood.

A yellow warning lamp lights if the vehicle speed is below 7 km/h (5 mph). The red warning lamp lights if the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h (5 mph).

The tailgate is only indicated by a text message and yellow warning lamp, irrespective of the speed.

The Driver information module (DIM) also displays a message if a passive key cannot be found when a start attempt is carried out or if a remote control that is used to start the vehicle cannot be found after the driver's door has been opened and closed.
