Alarm
Status indicator lamp on the dashboard
An indicator lamp (LED) at the top of the dashboard gives a description of
the alarm system status:
· Lamp not lit: alarm is deactivated.
· The lamp flashes once every other second: the alarm is armed.
· Lamp flashes quickly, after deactivating the alarm and until the ignition
is switched on: the alarm has been triggered.
· If a fault has occurred in the alarm system, a message is shown in the
display with instructions for appropriate measures.
IMPORTANT!
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm system components. All such
attempts can affect terms of insurance.

Temporary deactivation of detectors
To avoid triggering the alarm inadvertently, for example when leaving a
dog in the car or during a ferry crossing, the movement and tilt detectors
can be temporarily deactivated. The button can be pressed at any time
between the key being turned from position II to the car being locked, or
as long as the power to the centre console is on. The LED in the button
lights until you lock the car with your key or remote control. A message is
displayed as long as the key remains in the ignition lock. The detectors
will be reactivated the next time you switch on the ignition.
If your car is equipped with deadlocks, these will be simultaneously
activated. See page 89.
