ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM
The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a
deterrent to unauthorised persons
who attempt to open the doors,
bonnet or luggage compartment, or
remove the radio.
Activation
Turn the key as far as it will go in
the locked position and hold in this
position for one second.
Refer to the sections Central
locking with double locking
system and Radio frequency
remote control.
Automatic activation delay
The 20 seconds activation delay
begins when the bonnet, luggage
compartment and all doors are
closed.
Alarm
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if
an unauthorised person opens a
door, the luggage compartment or
the bonnet. The hazard flasher
lights will flash for five minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine
without a valid key or to remove
the radio sounds the alarm again.
Controls and features
To switch off
The anti-theft alarm system can be
deactivated at any time – even
when the alarm is sounding – by
unlocking one of the front doors.
The anti-theft alarm system for the
tailgate is deactivated when the
luggage compartment is unlocked
with a key or the remote control.
After closure, the alarm is once
again armed.
ST170
On the ST170 with enhanced
security (certain markets only), the
anti-theft alarm system is
deactivated by pressing
remote control.
If the remote control is not
available or if the remote control
battery has been allowed to go flat,
the car may be used with a
non-remote key. Opening the
driver's door with the mechanical
key starts a 12 second delay chime
before the alarm sounds. The alarm
system should be deactivated
during this period by turning the
key in the ignition to position II.
The car may now be driven as
normal without the alarm sounding.
