If any of the named areas are entered, the alarm will be triggered.
How is the alarm disabled?
The alarm can be switched off by unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control, or by switching on the ignition with the key, thus “disabling” the
alarm system. The alarm will also switch off when it comes to the end of its
cycle.
Indicators
The indicators flash briefly when the vehicle is locked to confirm that the
doors, the engine bonnet and the tailgate are properly closed and locked.
If the indicators do not flash, check the doors, the bonnet and the tailgate to
make sure they are properly closed. The indicators will also flash briefly if one
of the doors or the tailgate or engine bonnet are closed after the alarm system
has been enabled.
LED
When the vehicle is locked, the LED on the top of the driver's door trim will
flash rapidly for about 30 seconds and then continue flashing slowly. This is
to indicate that the anti-theft alarm system (including the interior monitor
and tow-away protection ) is operative. If the LED lights up continuously for
about 30 seconds when the vehicle is locked instead of flashing, this means
the alarm system is not working properly.Note
•To make sure that the alarm is fully operative when leaving the vehicle,
briefly check that all the doors and windows and the sun roof* are closed.
•The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is enabled.Interior monitoring*
The interior monitor triggers an alarm if it detects movement
inside the vehicle.You should disable the interior monitor if there is a possibility that
the alarm could be triggered, e.g. by a pet or by an object moving
about inside the car ⇒ . The tow-away protection feature, which
is integrated into the alarm system, should be disabled if the car is
being towed or transported (e.g. by rail or ship).
