In order to avoid accidental triggering
of the alarm when a door or the boot
is opened, it is essential to press the
unlocking button on the remote control
again. When the alarm is set, if a door,
the tailgate or the bonnet is not
closed correctly, the siren is
triggered briefl y. If the vehicle is
closed correctly within the next 45 se-
conds, the alarm is set. In all cases, the
alarm is set after 45 seconds.
This provides two types of surveillance:
-
exterior protection
: it sounds if a door,
the boot or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection
: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking
of a window or a movement inside
the vehicle).
