BMW X5 3.0i SAV 2006 - Manual (Page 38)

38 n Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the liftgate
is opened
> To movement in the vehicle interior:
interior protection, refer to Tilt alarm
sensor and Interior motion sensor
> To variations in the vehicle tilt angle
such as occur during attempts to
steal the wheels or tow the vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
> An acoustical alarm, which sounds
for 30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers, which
flash for approx. five minutes
> The high beams, which flash on and
off in the same rhythm as the hazard
warning flashers.
Arming and disarming alarm
system
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 have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm
arming and disarming. <
The liftgate can also be opened with the
system armed using the button on the
remote control, refer to page
31 . The
liftgate is locked again when closed.
Pressing the button longer triggers the
alarm: panic mode, refer to page
32 .
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed.
> The indicator lamp flashes when the
vehicle is locked: the doors or liftgate
are not properly closed. Even if you
do not close the alerted area, the sys-
tem begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes
continuously after 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated.
> The indicator lamp goes out when the
vehicle is unlocked: no manipulation
or attempted intrusions have been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
