Alarm system

The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
> opening of a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid
> movement in the vehicle interior: interior
motion sensor, refer to page
> changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
> interruptions in battery voltage
The alarm system briefly indicates unautho-
rized tampering:
> with an acoustic alarm
> by switching on the hazard warning flashers
>
by flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
When the alarm system is armed, you can also
open the luggage compartment lid with the

tem is armed.

> The indicator lamp flashes after the vehicle
is locked: the doors or luggage compart-
ment lid are not properly closed. Even if you
do not close the door involved, the system
begins to monitor the remaining areas, and
the indicator lamp flashes continuously
after 10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
> After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp goes out: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been detected in
the period since the system was armed.
>
After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp flashes until the remote control is
inserted into the ignition lock, but for no
more than roughly 5 minutes: an attempted
entry has been detected in the period since
the system was armed.
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the
alarm on some national-market versions.
