VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF

(perimeter protection);
2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned to MAR ON/RUN);
3. Cutting of the battery leads;
4. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car.
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and

several seconds). The alarm activation modes may vary
according to the market. There is a maximum number
of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the
system returns to normal operation.

Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated
when the key is extracted from the ignition switch.
• The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various
countries.
