Alarm system*

The concept

The vehicle alarm system responds:

When a door, the hood or the trunk lid is
opened

To movements inside the vehicle: interior
motion sensor, refer to page

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

When there has been an interruption of
power supply from the battery

Depending on the market-specific version, the
alarm system briefly signals unauthorized entry
attempts by:

An acoustic alarm

Switching on

the hazard warning flashers

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.
You can open the trunk lid using the

button

of the remote control even if the alarm system is

armed, refer to page

. The lid is locked and

monitored again as soon as it is closed.

Panic mode

You can trigger the alarm system if you find
yourself in a dangerous situation.
Press the

button for at least three seconds.

To switch off the alarm: press any button.

Switching off an alarm

Unlock the car with the remote control, refer
to page

, or

insert the remote control all the way into the
ignition lock.

Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp under the inside rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.

The indicator lamp flashes after locking:
doors, hood or trunk lid are not properly
closed. Even if you do not close the alerted
area, the system begins to monitor the
remaining areas, and the indicator lamp
flashes continuously after approx.
10 seconds. The interior motion sensor and
the tilt alarm sensor are not activated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
your vehicle has not been disturbed while
you were away.

If the indicator lamp flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted in the
ignition, but for no longer than approx.
5 minutes: your vehicle has been disturbed
while you were away.
