Anti-Theft Alarm System
The anti-theft alarm is automatical­
ly armed or disarmed with any of
your vehicle's keys or infrared re­
mote control by locking or unlock­
ing either front door or the trunk.
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that
the alarm is armed. Now the
engine cannot be started.
The anti-theft alarm is disarmed
when unlocking either front door
or the trunk with any of your
vehicle's keys or infrared remote
control.

iocated operation
Once the alarm system has been
armed, the exterior vehicle lamps
will flash and the horn will sound
intermittently when someone:
• opens a door,
• opens the trunk,
• opens the hood,
• removes the radio,
• switches on or bridges the
ignition circuit,
• steps on the brake pedal.
The alarm will last approximately
150 seconds in the form of blink­
ing exterior lamps. At the same
time an additional horn will sound
intermittently for 60 seconds,
pause for 30 seconds, and repeat
for another 60 seconds.
The alarm will stay on even if the
activating element (a door, for
example) is immediately closed.
Note:
We recommend that you carry the
flat key safely with you so that it is
always handy. The flat key has the
same functions as the master key.
