Panic mode in US and Japanese national versions

In the event of a threat from the outside or in the event of an accident, the panic mode can be used to attract the attention of others (DWA alarm). The panic mode must be programmed. In the US and Japanese national-market version, the tailgate release can be coded instead of panic mode. The tailgate release button then operates as panic mode button.

For this purpose, press the panic mode button for three seconds. The panic mode can be triggered regardless of the alarm system's status (armed or deactivated). Pressing any button on the master key terminates the panic mode. If the emergency power siren fails during panic mode, the acoustic alarm is output via the fanfares (emergency function). The duration of an alarm during panic mode is unlimited (until the battery is empty).
