AUTOMATIC ENGAGEMENT
OF THE ALARM
(optional for versions/markets
where applicable)

the remote control it will come on auto-
matically after an established time of 30
seconds from the moment that the ignition
key has been turned to the STOP or
PARK positions and a door or the boot has
been opened and then closed again. This
condition is shown by the intermittent illu-
mination of the led in the car and by the sig-
nalling described previously.
To deactivate the alarm press the button
on the remote control.
The alarm is also automatically engaged
when the doors are closed using the key.

the doors are not locked.

WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
When the alarm is engaged it will sound
when:
– one of the doors, the bonnet or the tail-
gate is opened;
– the battery is disconnected or the elec-
tric cables are cut, or the emergency key ca-
bles are cut;
– intrusion into the passenger compart-
ment, e.g. window being broken (volumetric
protection);
– attempt to start the engine (key at
MAR);
– abnormal car raising/sloping (for ver-
sions/markets where applicable).
Depending on the markets, the triggering
of the alarm will activate the siren and the
hazard warning lights (for about 26 sec-
onds). The methods of operation and the
number of cycles may vary depending on
the versions/markets.
However a maximum number of cycles is
foreseen.
Once the alarm cycle has come to an end,
the system will return to its normal moni-
toring state.

INTERRUPTING THE ALARM

To interrupt the alarm press the button on
the remote control or, if the remote control
battery is down, get into the car, insert the
key into the ignition switch and turn the key
to MAR.
WARNING If it is necessary for the ve-
hicle to lie inactive for long periods (over 3
weeks), close the vehicle using the key to
deactivate the alarm.
