Anti Theft Alarm System
The anti-theft alarm is automatically
armed after 10 seconds of locking
either door or the trunk with any of
your vehicle's keys or infrared remote
control.
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that the
alarm is armed. Now the engine
cannot be started.
The anti-theft alarm is disarmed when
unlocking either door or the trunk
with any of your vehicle's keys or
infrared remote control.
Operation:
Once the alarm system has been
armed, the exterior vehicle lamps will
flash and the horn will sound
intermittently when someone:
•
opens a door,
•
opens the trunk,
•
opens the hood,
•
removes the radio,
•
switches on or bridges the
ignition circuit,
•
steps on the brake pedal,
•
opens the storage compartment
between the front seats,
•
opens the eyeglasses compartment
in the dashboard.
The alarm will last approximately 150
seconds in the form of blinking exterior
lamps. At the same time an alarm horn
will sound intermittently for 60
seconds, pause for 30 seconds, and
repeat for another 60 seconds.
The alarm will stay on even if the
activating element (a door, for
example) is immediately closed.
Note:
We recommend that you carry the flat
key safely with you so that it is always
handy. This key has the same function
as the master key.
