Alarm system*
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>
When a door, the hood or the lug-
gage compartment lid are opened
>
To movement inside the vehicle –
interior motion sensor
>
To changes in vehicle tilt, e.g. as
would occur while attempting to steal
the wheels or tow the vehicle – tilt
alarm sensor system
>
To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
>
Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
>
Activating the hazard warning flash-
ers for approx. five minutes
>
Flashing the high beams on and off in
rhythm with the hazard warning flash-
ers.
To arm and disarm the alarm
system
Whenever you lock or unlock the vehi-
cle via the remote control or a door
lock, you simultaneously arm or disarm
the alarm system.
You can have various signals set
as confirmation that the alarm sys-
tem has been armed or disarmed.
<
Even with the system armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid via
the button on the remote control. When
it is closed, the lid is once again
secured.
Extended pressure on the button sets
off the alarm – Panic mode, refer to
