ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM
OPERATING THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button Bon the remote control.
With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (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 control1 after you have deactivated the alarm with a press on the unlocking button A. The fl ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.
The siren is also tri
ggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply
then press on the unlocking button A.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 example 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 o
ff the ignition then immediately pressbutton1 for at least one second.
The warning lamp on button1should come perma-nently on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm b
y locking your vehicle with the remotecontrol.
It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detec-
tion when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the
random triggering of the alarm.
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 A again on the remote control.

If this device were not working properly, it could result in thewindows breaking:If there should be a battery failure:
Open the doors gently.Do not close the door abruptly as this risks breaking the window, if possible wait until the battery ispowering the vehicle again.If you are intending to work on the battery, open the windows fi rst.In freezing conditions, ice may form to hinder the operation of the micro-descent device. If the actionon the door handle does not move the window down, it is essential fi rst to free the ice.

ACCESS
To make it easier to open the doors,
the windows automatically open bya few millimetres.
Note: This movement occurs imme-diately you touch an interior door handle.
The window recloses, automati-
cally adjusting for a perfect seal.
IMPORTANT
This function has no anti-pinch. Donot leave your hand on the window
when you close the door.
Any interruption of your vehicle'selectrical supply will prevent the
windows from opening and closingcorrectly.
Remark: Travelling at high speed,closing of windows may be hin-
dered by the aerodynamic pres-sure. Acoustic comfort may then
be adversely affected.
ELECTRICALLY-CONTROLLED CHILD SAFETY
This deactivates the controls in the rear of the vehicle, both for the rear
windows and for opening the rear doors from the inside.

Replacing the battery
The remote control is poweredby a 6V-28L battery cell, which isincluded.
Information appears on the screen
when this battery should be replaced.
Unclip the casing and replace thebattery.
Th
e remote control must then bere-initialised, as described on thispage.
Do not discard old batteries; take
them to an approved recyclingpoint.
Re-initialisation of the
remote control
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling inorder to avoid the risk of fi re or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxicationor asphyxiation, the program-mable heating should not beused, even for a short time, inan enclosed space such as agarage, or workshop withoutexhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle over infl ammable materials (dry grass,dead leaves, papers…), as thereis a risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicleísfuel tank. Before using it, ensurethat there is suffi cient fuel in thetank. If the low fuel warning lampis on we strongly recommendthat you do not programme theheating to come on.
PROGRAMMABLE HEATING
If the battery is disconnected or
replaced, the remote control must be re-initialised.
After switchin
g on, within fi ve sec-onds press button 4 (OFF) for
1 second.
If the o
peration is successful, the "OK" message appears in the
remote control screen.
If not, the
"FAIL" message appears. Repeat the procedure.
As a secondar
y advantage, use of your programmable heating sys-
tem allows it to be used to pre-heat
t
he passenger compartment.
