OPERATION OF THE ALARM
First make sure all the doors are closed.
The alarm is armed by pressing button
A
on the re-
mote 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 control
1
after you
have deactivated the alarm with a press on the un-
locking 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 sup-
ply 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 try to lock your vehicle but a door, or the boot,
is still open, the central locking does not operate but
the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds. You
will hear a rebound sound coming from the locks.
Note :
The siren is automatically deactivated (for ex-
ample for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the
vehicle is unlocked using the remote control
Deactivation of 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 permanent-
ly on. It will start to fl ash when the alarm is armed.
Arm the alarm by locking your vehicle with the remote
control.
It is recommended to disarm the volumetric detection
when you use an automatic car wash, to prevent ran-
dom triggering of the alarm.
Automatic activation (depending on country)
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.
