Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the lug-
gage compartment lid/tailgate is
opened.
> To movement inside the vehicle
(interior motion sensor).
> To variations in the vehicle tilt sensor
such as occur 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:
> Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds.
> The hazard warning flashers are
activated for approx. five minutes.
> The high beams flash on and off in
the same rhythm.
To arm and disarm the
alarm system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
with the key or the remote control, the
alarm system is also simultaneously
armed or disarmed.
The interior motion sensor is activated
approx. 30 seconds after you have fin-
ished locking the car.
The system indicates that it has been
correctly armed by switching on the
hazard flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustical signal.
You can have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm
arming and
disarming.<
When the system is armed, you can still
gain access to the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate by pressing button 3
on the remote control (refer to page 41).
When you close the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate, it locks again.
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed.
> The indicator lamp flashes during
arming: door(s), the hood or luggage
compartment lid/tailgate are not
completely closed. Even if you do not
close the alerted area, the system
begins to monitor the remaining ar-
eas, and the indicator lamp flashes
continuously after 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated.
> If the indicator lamp goes out when
the system is disarmed: no manipula-
tion or attempted intrusions have
been detected in the period since
the system was armed.
