Anti-theft alarm system*

Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. Audible and visible alarms are triggered if the vehicle is opened using
the key, or if unauthorised access to the vehicle is forced.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically switched on when locking the
vehicle. The system is then primed.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the
alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on closing and activating the alarm.

When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are car-
ried out when the vehicle is locked:
● Opening the vehicle mechanically using the key and with the ignition
off.
● A door is opened.
● Opening the bonnet.
● The rear lid is opened.
● Ignition switched on with a non-validated key.
● Movements in the driving compartment (vehicles with interior monitor-
ing).
● Undue manipulation of the alarm.
● Manipulation of battery.
The acoustic signals sound and the turn signals flash for approx. 30 sec-
onds. This cycle may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.
