Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
When a door, the hood, or the luggage
>
compartment lid is opened
To movement in the vehicle interior:
>
interior motion sensor
To changing of the vehicle's tilt if some-
>
one attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle
To interruption of battery voltage.
>
The system responds to unauthorized vehi-
cle entry and attempted theft by simulta-
neously activating:
An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
>
period of approx. 30 seconds
The hazard warning flashers for approx.
>
5 minutes
The high beams, which flash on and off
>
in the same rhythm.
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.
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.
You can also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using but-
ton
on the remote control, refer to
page 28. When you close the lid, it is
secured again.
Switching off alarm
