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 changes in vehicle tilt, e.g. as

would occur while attempting to steal
the wheels or tow the vehicle – tilt
alarm sensor system

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

30 seconds

> Activating the hazard warning flash-

ers 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 driver's door lock or with the
remote control, the alarm system is also
simultaneously armed or disarmed.

You can have a signal set as
acknowledgment for both arming

and disarming the alarm.

You can also open the luggage com-
partment lid when the system is armed
by pressing the button of the remote
control, refer to page

. When it is

closed, the lid is once again secured.

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