• The desired service message must be reset in each case. If not, the time
frame for another service could be incorrect. You can change from one
message to another by pressing the reset button.• Do not reset the indicator between two service intervals. Otherwise, the
indication could be erroneous.
• The values are saved even if the battery of the vehicle is disconnected.
• If the combined instrument is replaced after repair work, the service
interval indicator must be reset by a Technical Service Centre.

longer being driven. The belt must be checked/ renewed.
If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not
broken or loose, you can generally wait to have this checked at the
next scheduled service.
As the battery will continue to discharge, all electrical consumers
which are not absolutely necessary should be switched off.

Parking light/dipped beam
Dipped beam, parking or side light pilot light (green). Works with
the ignition off.

Power steering*
The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional
check when the ignition is switched on.
The warning lamp comes on when the hydraulic oil level is not
sufficient or in case of a failure in the electrical system.
An acoustic signal warns the driver (1 bip).

When you lock the car the indicator pilot lights will only come on ifthe
alarm has been properly activated (all security areas have been properly
locked).
If a door or the boot are left open when the alarm is connected, they will not
be incorporated into the car’s protection system. If after you lock the doors
or boot, they will be automatically incorporated into the securityareas and
the indicator signals will show.
The alarm will be triggered if, with the vehicle locked, one of
•the doors,
•the bonnet, or
•the boot
is opened or
•the ignition is switched on.
When the alarm is triggered the horn sounds and a flashing signal
is activated for about 30 seconds.

• The warning lamp goes out after approx. 28 days. This prevents the
battery becoming discharged when the vehicle is not used for a long period.
The alarm system remains activated.
• The alarm signal will be triggered a second time if one of the protectedparts of the car is interfered with again after the alarm signal has stopped
(for instance if the tailgate is opened after one of the doors has been
opened).
• The alarm can also be activated and deactivated via the radio wave
remote control*. Further information can be found under the heading
“Radio-frequency remote control key”.
• In vehicles fitted with an additional alarm system*, if the vehicle is
accessed with the key on the driver’s door, you have 15 seconds to insert
the key in the ignition lock and switch on ignition. If not the alarm is set off
for 30 seconds and it will be impossible to start engine.
The alarm can only be disconnected by pressing the "open" key on the
remote control.
In vehicles without a remote control key you will have to wait for 30 seconds
until the alarm stops. Lock the door and repeat the previously described
process.
If the vehicle is accessed through any door other than the driver’s door or
the tailgate the alarm will be set off for 30 seconds.
K
Volumetric sensor*
This is a surveillance function or a control incorporated in the anti-
theft alarm system which detects through ultrasound unauthorized
access to the vehicle interior (i.e. through a window).
The system has 3 sensors, 2 transmitters and one receiver.
A Ac

The volumetricsensor is switched on automatically when the anti-
theft alarm is activated whether by locking manually with the key
or by remote control.


66Opening and closing
The following functions can be operated using the radio wave
remote control without using the key manually.
– Locking and unlocking the central locking system.
– Turning the anti theft alarm* and the locking security system
(double lock) on and off.
– Switching on the inside light
⇒ "Interior lights" chapter.
The radio wave transmitter with its battery is located in the handle
of the key. The radio wave receiver is located inside the vehicle.

While pressing the "open" or "close" buttons, a LED will flash on the key. If
this LED does not appear, it may mean that the key’s battery is depleted. In
this case, have the battery tested or changed at a Technical Service Centre.
When the dead-lock mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* are activated,
proceed as follows:
If the vehicle is unlocked by using the open button on the radio-frequency
remote control*, all of the doors and the boot
1)will be relocked
automatically if they are not opened within 30 seconds. However, the
locking security system and the anti theft alarm will remain deactivated
during these 30 seconds. This function prevents the vehicle being
accidentally left open following the unintentional use of the remote control
within range of the vehicle.

operated for about ten minutes as long as the driver or passenger
doors are not opened.
The windows on vehicles with central locking can also be closed or
opened from the outside (in cars with a sliding/electric roof you
can only close them). For this purpose, the key must be in the lock
of the driver’s door and held in the locking or open position.
