power    
as-
sistance .  
  
Never  remove  the  ignition  key 
before the vehicle has come to a

 STOPPING 
  Vehicles equipped with a  
turbocharger 
 Never stop the engine without having  
allowed  it  to  run  for  a  few  seconds 
at  idle,  this  being  the  time  required 
for  the  turbocharger  to  return  to  a 
normal speed. 
 Flicking  the  accelerator  at  the  mo-
ment  of  switching  off  the  ignition 
could cause serious damage.  
  A heavy object (key fob...), attached 
to  the  key  and  weighing  down  on 
its shaft in the ignition switch, could 
cause a malfunction.  
Never  turn  the  key  to  this  position 
when the engine is running.

     ALARM 
 System which protects and provides  
a  deterrent  against  the  theft  of  your 
vehicle. It provides two types of pro-
tection,  exterior  and  interior,  as  well 
as an anti-tamper function.  
  Exterior protection  
 The  system  detects  opening  of  the  
vehicle.  
 The alarm is triggered if anyone tries  
to enter the vehicle by forcing a door, 
the boot or the bonnet.   
  Interior protection  
 The  system  detects  any  variation  in  
the  volume  in  the  passenger  com-
partment.  
 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 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.
