Alarm system
> If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is dis-
armed, an attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time to prevent a false alarm from being
triggered (in garages with elevator
ramps, for instance), or when the vehi-
cle is transported by trailer or train:
Lock the vehicle twice (= arm the sys-
tem) by pressing button 2 on the re-
mote control twice in succession (refer
to page 32), or lock the vehicle twice
with the key (refer to page 30).
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor
to function properly, the windows and
the luggage compartment lid must be
closed.
Nevertheless, you should deactivate
the interior motion sensor (refer to the
previous column) if
> children or animals are left in the
vehicle
> windows should remain open.
For US vehicles only:
The interior motion sensor is not
installed on US models as it has not re-
ceived FCC (Federal Communications
Comission)
approval.<
