the alarm and until the ignition is switched
on: The alarm has been triggered.

sage appears on the information display.

Arming the alarm
– Press the LOCK button. A long flash from
the car's direction indicators confirms that
the alarm is armed and that all the doors
are locked.
IMPORTANT
The alarm is fully armed when the car's di-
rection indicators have made one long flash
and the light on the dashboard flashes once
every other second.
Disarming the alarm
– Press the remote control's UNLOCK but-
ton. Two short flashes from the car's
direction indicators confirm that the alarm
has been deactivated.
If the remote control batteries are discharged
then the alarm can be disarmed by turning
the key to ignition position II.
