The concept

The vehicle alarm system responds:

When a door, the hood or the trunk lid/tail-
gate 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

When there has been an interruption of
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 alarm system is armed, by pressing the

button on the remote control, refer to page

The lid is locked and monitored again as soon
as you close it.

Panic mode*
