NOTE:

The switches can be positioned in a different order than indicated in the illustration depending on vehicle configuration and equipment.

The switch for reduced alarm is located on the climate control comfort panel. The switch is used to temporarily deactivate the inclination sensor module and mass movement sensor module (MMS) alternatively ultrasonic sensor module (IMS) functions. When the function is activated, deadlock mode will not engage after the vehicle is locked. The function can only be activated when the ignition is in position I, 0 or after the ignition has been switched off and up to one minute after the ignition key has been removed from the ignition switch.

The switch has an integrated LED that indicates if the function is activated and messages will be displayed in the driver information module (DIM). However, messages are not displayed once the key is removed.

With the switch the alarm can be set to so called garage mode if the car is configured for passive activation (option for certain markets). This mode is activated if the switch is pressed in and the unlock button on the remote control is pressed in within 5 seconds. In garage mode there will be no passive activation of the alarm. This mode is active for 24 hours after activation or until any button is pressed on the remote control.
