Volkswagen ID.4: Anti-theft alarm system

The vehicle may be equipped with an anti-theft alarm system.

The anti-theft alarm system monitors the doors, the hood, and the trunk lid.

The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when you lock the vehicle.

If an attempt is made to access the vehicle electronically without using the appropriate vehicle key, this triggers the anti-theft alarm system, which emits audible and visual warning signals for up to five minutes.

When is the alarm triggered?

• If a door that was unlocked manually using the vehicle key is opened.
• If the hood is opened.
• If the trunk lid is opened.
• When using an invalid remote control vehicle key.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an interior monitoring system and movement is detected inside the vehicle (→ Interior monitoring and towing protection).
• If the vehicle is equipped with towing protection and it is raised or towed (→ Interior monitoring and towing protection).
• If the vehicle is equipped with towing protection or an interior monitoring system, and it is transported on a car ferry or railway (→ Interior monitoring and towing protection).
• If a bicycle rack that is paired with the anti-theft alarm system is unhitched.
• If trailer that is paired with the anti-theft alarm system is unhitched.
• If the 12 V vehicle battery is disconnected.
• If the rear window breaks.
• If the diagnostic connection is used when the anti-theft alarm system is active.
