Alarm system*
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the luggage com-
partment lid/tailgate is opened
> When attempts are made to start the vehi-
cle
> When there are movements in the vehicle
interior: interior motion sensor, refer to
page
24
> 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: Tilt alarm sensor, refer to
page
24
> When there is an interruption in the power
supply from the battery
The alarm system signals unauthorized entry
attempts for a short time by means of:
> An acoustic alarm
> Switching on the hazard warning flashers
> Flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming
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.
The hazard warning flashers light up once when
the alarm system has been properly armed.
You can have different acknowledgment
signals set to confirm arming and disarm-
ing. <
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid/tailgate
using the
button on the remote control,
refer to page 19 . When you subsequently close
the luggage compartment lid/tailgate, it is
locked again and monitored.
