Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> To the opening of doors, the hood, or the
luggage compartment lid
> To movements in the vehicle interior: inte-
rior motion sensor, see below
> To changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
> To interruptions in battery voltage
The system responds to unauthorized vehicle
entry and attempted theft by simultaneously
activating:
> An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a period
of approx. 30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers for approx.
5 minutes
> The high beams, which flash on and off in
the same rhythm
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
The system indicates that it has been correctly
armed by switching on the hazard warning
flashers for a single cycle and by emitting an
acoustic signal.
You can also open the luggage compartment lid
with the system armed using the
button on
the remote control, refer to page 30 . When the
luggage compartment lid is closed, it is locked
again and monitored.
Switching off alarm
> Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page
29 ,
> or turn the ignition key to position 1, refer to
page
54 .
