ACCESS
ALARM
System which protects and provides a
deterrent against the theft of your vehi-
cle. It provides two types of protection,
exterior and interior, as well as an anti-
tamper function.
Exterior perimiter protection
The system detects opening of the ve-
hicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to
enter the vehicle by forcing a door, the
boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric protection
The system detects any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a window or moves inside the vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle
or a window partially open, deactivate
the interior volumetric protection.
Anti-tamper function
The system detects the putting out of
service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to put the wires of the siren, the central
control or the battery out of service. D o n o t m a k e a n y m o d i fi c a t i o n s
to the alarm system, this could
cause malfunctions. Locking the vehicle with full
alarm
Activation
Switch off the ignition and get out of
the vehicle.

exterior protection alarm only
Deactivation of the interior
volumetric protection
Switch off the ignition.
Within ten seconds, press button A

Lock or deadlock the vehicle using
the locking button on the remote
control.
The exterior protection alarm alone re-
mains activated; the indicator lamp on
button A fl a s h e s o n c e p e r s e c o n d .
To be effective, this deactivation
must be carried out each time
the ignition is switched off.
Reactivation of the interior
volumetric protection
Unlock the vehicle using the unlocking
button on the remote control.
Relock the vehicle using the remote
control.
The alarm is activated again with both
types of protection; the indicator lamp
on button A switches off.
