Anti-Theft Alarm System
The anti-theft alarm is automatically
armed or disarmed with any of your
vehicle's keys or infrared remote control
by locking or unlocking either front
door or the trunk.
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that the
alarm is armed.
The anti-theft alarm is disarmed when
unlocking either front door or the trunk
with any of your vehicle's keys or
infrared remote control.
Operation:
Once the alarm system has been armed,
the exterior vehicle lamps will flash and
the horn will sound intermittently when
someone:
• opens a door,
• opens the trunk,
• opens the hood,
• switches on or bridges the ignition
circuit,
The alarm will last approximately
150 seconds in the form of blinking
exterior lamps. At the same time an
alarm horn will sound intermittently for
60 seconds, pause for 30 seconds, and
repeat for another 60 seconds. The
alarm will stay on even if the activating
element (a door, for example) is
immediately closed.
Note:
We recommend that you carry the flat
key safely with you so that it is always
handy. The flat key has the same
functions as the master key.
