Alarm system*
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood, or the liftgate is
opened.
> To movements inside the vehicle: interior
motion sensor, refer to description below.
> When the car's inclination changes, for
instance if an attempt is made to jack it up
and steal the wheels or to raise it prior to
towing away.
> To interruptions in battery voltage.
The alarm system signals unauthorized manip-
ulations for a short time by:
> Sounding an acoustic alarm
> Switching on the hazard warning flashers
> Flashing the high beams
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.
If the alarm system has been properly armed,
the hazard warning flashers light up once.
You can have different confirmation sig-
nals set to confirm arming and disarm-
ing.
<
You can open the liftgate even when the system
is armed by using the
button of the remote
control, refer to page 20 . When the liftgate is
closed, it is locked again and monitored.
Switching off alarm
> Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page
19 .
>
Turn the ignition key to position 1.
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp below the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.
> The indicator lamp flashes after the vehicle
is locked: doors, hood, or liftgate are not
properly closed. Even if you do not close the
alerted area, the system begins to monitor
the remaining areas, and the indicator lamp
flashes continuously after approx. 10 sec-
