Arming and disarming the alarm
system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control unit or at the door
lock, the alarm system is armed or dis-
armed 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 have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming.<
You can also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using
button 3 on the remote control, refer to
page 34. When you close the lid, the sys-
tem is rearmed.
Pressing the Panic mode button for a
longer period triggers the alarm, refer
to page 34.<

the alerted area, 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
The indicator lamp goes out when the

detected in the period since the system
was armed
The indicator lamp flashes when you

disarm the system before the remote
control unit is inserted in the ignition

detected in the period since the system
was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the indica-
tor lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding unintentional alarms

on the remote control twice in succession,
refer to page 34.
