own battery which is engaged if the car
battery has insufficient charge or is
disconnected.
• All turn signal lamps flash for five
minutes or until the alarm is switched
off.

car can still be started as follows:
1. Open the driver's door using the key

siren sounds.

control in the ignition. The alarm is
