Energy-saving mode active

In order to keep "breakdowns" resulting from an empty battery to a minimum, the radio receiver, which draws a high closed-circuit current, is switched off in the alarm system control module after a certain time in addition to switch-off of the other loads.

• The radio receiver is switched off if the ignition is not switched on again within five days (120 h OFF time).
• The radio receiver is switched off independently of the locking condition of the vehicle.
• A locked vehicle can be unlocked with the vehicle key. (This does not reactivate the radio receiver).
• In order to avoid triggering the alarm, the vehicle key with valid transponder must be turned in the steering lock within the vehicle-entering delay of 10 seconds (due to the "passive arming" function - automatic arming of the alarm system 30 seconds after the vehicle is left with the ignition key removed; the central locking system is not activated in this case).
• This also applies for the Belgian market, if the vehicle was parked unlocked for longer than five days.
• If the radio receiver has been deactivated, it can be reactivated only by switching on the ignition again.
• The switch-off time is reset if the ignition is switched on within five days, i.e. the system does not enter energy-saving mode.
• If a valid radio command is recognised within the idle period (terminal 15 off), the switch-off time is not reset.
