Alarm system
*
The conceptThe vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood or the tailgate
is opened.
>To movement inside the vehicle
(interior motion sensor).
>To a change of the vehicle's tilt Ð if
someone attempts to steal the wheels
or tow the vehicle without authoriza-
tion, for example.
>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 flashers
for approx. five minutes.
>Flashing the high beams flash on and
off in rhythm with the hazard warning
flashers.
To activate and deactivate the
alarm systemWhen the vehicle is locked or unlocked
by using a key or the remote control,
the alarm system is also armed or
disarmed at the same time.
The interior motion sensor and tilt alarm
sensor are activated 30 seconds after
the last locking operation.
If the alarm system has been armed
correctly, the hazard warning flashers
flash once.
You can have one signal set as
acknowledgment when arming
and disarming.<
You can also open the rear window
when the system is armed by pressing
button 3 of the remote control (refer to
page 37). When it is closed, the rear
window is once again secured.
Indicator lamp displaysThe indicator lamp is located under the
inside rearview mirror.
>The indicator lamp flashes
continuously: the system is armed.
>The indicator lamp flashes when it
is armed: doors, the hood, tailgate
or rear window have not been prop-
erly closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the remaining areas
are deadlocked, and the indicator
lamp flashes continuously after
10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
>The indicator lamp goes out when the
system is disarmed: no manipulation
or attempted intrusions have been
detected in the period since the
system was armed.463us010
