Note: The simultaneous use of other high frequency equipment (mobile telephones, domestic alarms, etc.) may momentarily hinder the operation of the remote control.
If there is a permanent fault, the remote control has to be reinitial-ised. See “Changing remote con-trol batteries”.
Central unlocking
A short press on control B unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is confi rmed by the rapid fl ashing of the direction indicators and the lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated). It can also deploy the exterior rear view mirrors.
Central locking – Deadlocking
A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
This is confi rmed by the lighting for around 2 seconds of the direction indica-tors and by the interior lamp going out. It may cause the exte rior rear view mirrors to fold back.
If any of the doors, or the boot, is open or not properly closed, the central locking does not operate.
For vehicles equipped with deadlocking, two successive presses on co ntrol A will operate deadlocking. It is then impossible to open the doors, either from the inside or from the outside.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a p erson is in the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without the remote control).

Operating the alarm
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button A on the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 sec-onds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).
When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by the direction indicators lighting up.
The alarm then goes back on standby, but the trigger-ing remains memorised and is signalled by the rapid fl ashing of the warning lamp on control 1 after you have deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button B. The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply then press on the unlocking button B.Note:If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the alarm, just lock with the key only.If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.Note: The siren is automatically deactivated (for exam-ple for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.


Deactivating the volumetric detection
You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).
For this, switch off the ignition then immediately press button 1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button 1 should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm by locking your vehicle with the remote control.
Automatic activation (according to destination)
The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the last door, or the boot, has been closed.
In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press the unlocking button B again on the remote control.
