Alarm system
*
36n
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the
luggage compartment lid is opened
> To movement inside the vehicle (inte-
rior motion sensor)
> To variations in the vehicle's tilt angle
such as those occurring during
attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
> The acoustic alarm sounds for
30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers are acti-
vated for approx. five minutes
> The high beams flash on and off in
rhythm with the hazard warning
flashers.
To arm and disarm the
alarm system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
via the driver's door lock or with the
remote control, the alarm system is also
simultaneously armed or disarmed.
You can have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm
arming and
disarming.<
You can open the luggage compart-
ment lid even when the system is
armed by pressing the button on the
remote control, refer to page 30. When
it is closed, the lid is once again
secured.
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed
> The indicator lamp flashes while the
system is armed: the door(s), the
hood or luggage compartment lid are
not completely closed. Even if you do
not close the alerted area(s), the
remaining areas are secured, and the
indicator lamp will flash continuously
after 10 seconds. However, the inte-
rior motion sensor is not activated
