Alarm system*
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>
When a door, the hood or the lug-
gage compartment lid is opened
>
To movements inside the vehicle –
interior motion sensor
>
To variations in the vehicle's tilt angle
such as those occurring during
attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle – tilt alarm sensor
>
To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
>
The acoustic alarm sounds for
30 seconds
>
The hazard warning flashers are acti-
vated for approx. five minutes
>
The high beams flash on and off in
rhythm with the hazard warning flash-
ers.
To arm and disarm the alarm
system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
via the driver's door lock or with the
remote control, the alarm system is also
simultaneously armed or disarmed.
You can have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm
arming and disarming.
<

ment lid when the system is armed by
pressing the remote control button,
