German term or phrase: Kombi
Optische und Akustische Warnungen (Kunde)
Da auf Grund der Fahrberechtigungserkennung beim Advanced (Driver Card) und Integrated Profile (Remote Button) eine größere Anzahl von Fehlauslösungen durch Bedienungsfehler des Kunden (z.B. Driver Card vergessen) zu erwarten sind, sollen mit Hilfe von Warnhinweisen und Warntönen im Kombi oder über die Fahrzeugalarmanlage im BCM hinten die Fehlauslösungen und somit die Kosten für den Kunden reduziert werden.

Akustische Warnung über die DWA BCM hinten und den Summer im Kombi
Beim Profil Integrated (für Belgien/Luxemburg) muss der Remote Button jedes Mal vor Einschalten der Zündung aktiviert werden, da ansonsten ein Zündungsalarm ausgelöst wird. Um die Anzahl der Fehlalarme zu reduzieren
soll der Kunde vor der Alarmgenerierung akustisch gewarnt werden.

Wenn bei 60s bzw. 120s die Zündung noch eingeschaltet ist erfolgt die Warnung über den Summer des Kombis.

Explanation:
BCM is probably a body control module, which means you're looking for "Kombi" on a module/component level. Kombi could be short for Kombiinstrument:

neutral  BirgitBerlin: are you sure this is not the "Kombi" as in "type of car" (estate car). I am wondering because it uses the male article for Kombi, not female what you would expect for "Kombination".

  -> In short - yes. Not only for the module level reason, but also because it wouldn't make any sense to have a buzzer in a station wagon and a flashing light in a sedan.
