The alarm system
When the alarm is engaged, it continually
monitors all alarm points. The alarm is
triggered if:
• the bonnet is opened
• the boot lid is opened
• a side door is opened
• the ignition switch is turned with a non-
approved key or subjected to force
• movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if a motion sensor is fitted
- option for certain markets only)
• the car is raised or towed away (if a tilt
sensor is fitted - option for certain
markets only)
• the battery cable is disconnected
• an attempt is made to disconnect the siren.
Activating the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control. A
long flash signal from the direction indicators of
the car confirm that the alarm is activated and
all doors are closed. In certain markets, the key
or the control in the driver's door can be used to
arm the alarm.
Deactivating the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control. Two short flash signals from the
direction indicators of the car confirm that the
alarm is deactivated. In certain markets, the key
can be used to deactivate the alarm.
Automatic alarm reset
If none of the doors or the boot lid are opened
within two minutes of the alarm being deacti-
vated, and the car was unlocked with the remote
control, the car reactivates the alarm automati-
cally. The car locks at the same time. This
function prevents you from accidentally leaving
the car without the alarm on.
In certain countries (e.g. Belgium, Israel) the
alarm is reactivated after a certain delay if the
driver's door was opened and closed but the car
was not re-locked.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control if the alarm sounds and you wish to
deactivate it. Two short flashes of the direction
indicators are given as confirmation.
Audio signal - Alarm
The audio signal is given from a siren with a
reserve battery. Each alarm signal lasts
25 seconds.
Visual signal - Alarm
When the alarm is triggered, all direction
indicators flash for 5 minutes or until the alarm
is deactivated as described earlier.
Even if your remote control does not
work or you have lost it, you can start the car as
follows: open the driver's door with the key.
The alarm is triggered and the siren sounds.
Start the car as usual. The alarm will then be
deactivated.
