Alarm system *
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>
When a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
>
When attempts are made to start the
vehicle
>
To movement inside the vehicle – inte-
rior motion sensor
>
To alterations in the vehicle tilt, e.g. as
would occur during attempts to steal
the wheels or tow the vehicle
>
To interruption of battery voltage.
The alarm produced by the system in the
event of unauthorized vehicle entry and
attempted theft depends on the country
version:
>
Sounding of an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
>
Activation of the hazard warning flash-
ers for approx. five minutes.
Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
either via the driver's door lock or with the
remote control, the alarm system is simul-
taneously armed or disarmed.
The hazard warning flashers blink once

armed.
You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming.
