Alarm system telltale light
>
The telltale light below the inside mir-
ror flashes at a steady rate:
the system is activated
>
If the telltale light flashes when the
system is being activated: doors,
engine compartment or luggage
compartment lid are not properly
closed. Even if an item is not closed
fully, the remaining items are pro-
tected and the telltale light begins to
flash continuously after 10 seconds.
However, the interior movement
detector is not activated
>
If the telltale light goes out when the
system is deactivated: no attempt
was made to tamper with the car dur-
ing your absence
>
If the telltale light flashes for
10 seconds when the system is deac-
tivated: an attempt was made to
tamper with the car.
After the alarm has stopped, the telltale
light once again flashes continuously.
Avoiding false alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and the interior
movement detector can be switched off
together. This avoids false alarms, for
example due to the movements which
occur if your car is in an elevator garage
or on a train:
Perform the locking (activating) opera-
tion twice, by pressing the button on
the remote control twice in succession
or turning the key twice to the locking
position.
The telltale light comes on briefly, then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sen-
sor and interior movement detector are
then switched off until the system is
deactivated again.
Interior movement detector
Before the interior movement detector
can operate correctly, the windows and
sunroof must be closed.
However, switch the interior movement
detector off (see Avoiding false alarms)
if
>
children or animals remain in the car
>
windows or the sunroof are to remain
open.
The tilt alarm sensor and interior
movement detector will be
switched off inadvertently if the conven-
ient closure movement of the windows
and sunroof is interrupted within the
first 10 seconds and restarted. In this
case the complete system must be
deactivated and reactivated.
