Locks and alarm
Alarm (option)
The alarm system
When the alarm is armed, it continually
monitors all alarm inputs. The alarm is
triggered if:
• The bonnet is opened.
• The tailgate is opened.
• A side door is opened.
• The ignition switch is turned with a non-
approved key or subjected to force.
• Movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if a motion sensor is fitted
– option for certain markets only).
• The car is raised or towed away (if a tilt
sensor is fitted – option for certain
markets only).
• A battery cable is disconnected.
• Anyone tries to disconnect the siren.
Activating the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote
control. A long flash signal from the direction
indicators of the car confirms that the alarm is
activated and all doors are closed. In certain
markets, the key or the control in the driver’s
door can be used to arm the alarm.
Deactivating the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control. Two short flashes from the car’s
direction indicators confirms that the alarm is
disarmed.
If the remote control batteries are discharged
then the alarm can be disarmed by turning the
key to ignition position
II .
Automatic alarm activation
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within two minutes of the alarm being
disarmed, and the car was unlocked with the
remote control, the car re-arms the alarm
automatically. The car locks at the same time.
This function prevents you from accidentally
leaving the car without the alarm on.
In certain countries (e.g. Belgium, Israel) the
alarm is reactivated after a certain delay if the
driver’s door was opened and closed but the
car was not re-locked.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control if the alarm sounds and you wish to
deactivate it. Two short flashes of the
direction indicators are given as confirmation.
Audio signal – Alarm
The audio signal is given from a siren with a
reserve battery. Each alarm signal lasts
25 seconds.
Visual signal – Alarm
When the alarm is triggered, all direction
indicators flash for 5 minutes or until the
alarm is deactivated as described earlier.
IMPORTANT!
The alarm is fully armed when the car’s
direction indicators have made one long
flash and the LED on the dashboard
flashes once every other second.
