The vehicle alarm system will not
arm if the doors are locked with
the key.
If the driver door is opened without
first unlocking with the RKE
transmitter, the horn will chirp and
the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not
started, or the door is not unlocked
by pressing on the RKE
transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.
The alarm will also be activated if
the passenger door, the hatch/boot,
or the bonnet is opened without first
disarming the system. When the
alarm is activated, the indicators
flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next
unauthorised event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn
off the alarm if it has been activated,
do one of the following:
Press on the RKE transmitter.
Unlock the vehicle using the
Keyless Access system.
Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
Lock the vehicle after all
occupants have left the vehicle
and both doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the
RKE transmitter or use the
Keyless Access system.
Unlocking the driver door with the
key will not disarm the system or
turn off the alarm.

Power Sounder, Inclination
Sensor and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system also has an inclination
sensor and intrusion sensor.
The power sounder provides an
audible alarm which is different from
the vehicle's horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an
alarm when the vehicle's battery is
compromised.
The inclination sensor can set off
the alarm if it senses movement of
the vehicle, such as a change in
vehicle orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior, and can activate the
alarm if it senses unauthorised entry
into the vehicle's interior. Do not
allow passengers or pets to remain
in the vehicle when the intrusion
sensor is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent
system and activating the intrusion
sensor:
Make sure both doors and
windows are completely closed.
