Automatic alarm activation
This function prevents you accidentally leav-
ing the car without the alarm on.
If none of the doors or the boot lid is opened
within two minutes of disarming the alarm
(and the car has been unlocked with the re-
mote control), then the alarm is automatically
rearmed, and the car is locked at the same
time.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
– Press the unlock button on the remote
control or insert the key in the ignition
switch.
Confirmation is given by two short flashes
from the direction indicators.
Alarm signals
When the alarm is triggered, the following
happens:
• A siren sounds for no more than
25 seconds. The siren has its own battery
which is used if the car battery has insuffi-
cient charge or is disconnected.
• The direction indicators flash for five min-
utes or until the alarm is deactivated.
Remote control not working
If for some reason the remote control is not
working, the alarm can still be switched off
and the car started as follows:
– Open the driver’s door with the key blade.
The alarm is triggered and the siren
sounds.
– Insert the remote control into the ignition
switch. The alarm is deactivated. The
alarm light flashes rapidly until the ignition
key is turned to position position II.
The detectors are reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
If the car has deadlocks, these are also re-
engaged.
Testing the alarm system
Testing the movement detector in the
passenger compartment
– Open all windows.
– Arm the alarm. Arming the alarm is con-
firmed by the light flashing slowly.
– Wait 30 seconds.
– Test the movement detector in the pas-
senger compartment, such as by lifting
out a bag from a seat. A siren should then
sound and all direction indicators should
flash.
– Deactivate the alarm by unlocking the car
with the remote control.
Testing the door alarm
– Arm the alarm.
– Wait 30 seconds.
– Unlock the driver’s door with the key
blade.
– Open one of the doors. A siren should
sound and all direction indicators flash.

with the remote control.
Testing the alarm for the bonnet

ment detector.
