Alarm system*

The concept

The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the lug-

gage compartment lid are opened

> To movement inside the vehicle –

interior motion sensor

> To variations in the vehicle's tilt angle

such as those occurring during
attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle – tilt alarm sensor

> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
> The acoustic alarm sounds for

30 seconds

> The hazard warning flashers are acti-

vated for approx. five minutes

> Flashing the high beams on and off in

rhythm with the hazard warning flash-
ers.

To arm and disarm the alarm
system

When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
via the remote control or the driver's
door lock, the alarm system is also
simultaneously armed or disarmed.

You can have a signal set as con-
firmation that the alarm system

has been armed or disarmed.

You can also open the luggage com-
partment lid when the system is armed
by pressing the button of the remote
control. When it is closed, the lid is
once again secured.

Extended pressure on the button sets
off the alarm – Panic mode, refer to
