PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Alarm system
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
following alarm system:
• Perimeter alarm.
Perimeter alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors and the hood. It also
protects the audio unit.
Triggering the alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:
• If someone opens a door, the tailgate
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.
• If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.
• If the ignition is turned to position I, II
or III without a valid key.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flasher will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.
