Anti Theft Alarm System
The anti-theft alarm can be
armed/disarmed with any of your
vehicle's keys or infrared remote
control by locking/unlocking either
door or the trunk.
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that the
alarm is armed.
The antitheft alarm is disarmed when
unlocking the driver door or the trunk
with any of your vehicle's keys or
infrared remote control.
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,
•
opens the storage compartment
between the front seats.
The alarm will last approximately 2
minutes in the form of blinking
exterior lamps. At the same time an
additional horn will sound inter-
mittently 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 with you and keep it in a safe place
(e.g. your wallet) so that it is always
handy. The flat key has the same
functions as the master key.
