NOTE
The movement detectors trigger the alarm
in the event of movements in the passenger
compartment. For this reason the alarm
could be triggered if the car is left with a
window open or if an electric passenger
compartment heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the windows when leav-
ing the car and aim the air from the passen-
ger compartment heater so that it is not
directed up into the passenger compart-
ment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
Alarm indicator

the alarm system's status:
•

•
The LED flashes once every other second
– Alarm is armed
•
The LED flashes rapidly after disarming the

inserted in the ignition switch and key posi-
tion I is selected) – Alarm has been trig-
gered.
