PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
Alarm system
Your vehicle may be equipped with
one of the following alarm systems:
•
Perimeter alarm.
•
Perimeter alarm with interior
sensors.
•
Category one alarm with interior
sensors and battery back-up
sounder.
•
Category one alarm with interior
sensors, battery back-up sounder
and tilt sensors.
Perimeter alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent
against unauthorised access to your
vehicle through the doors and the
bonnet. It also protects the audio unit.
Interior sensors
WARNING
The sensors in the interior lamp
unit must not be covered up. Do
not activate the alarm with full guard
if any persons, animals or other
moving objects are inside the vehicle.
The sensors act as a deterrent
against unauthorised intrusion by
sensing any movement within the
vehicle.
Battery back-up sounder
The battery back-up sounder is an
extra alarm system which will sound
a siren when the alarm is triggered.
It is armed directly when you lock the
vehicle. The sounder has its own
battery and will sound an alarm siren
even if someone disconnects the
vehicle battery or the battery back-up
sounder itself.
Tilt sensors
The tilt sensors detect if someone
attempts to steal a wheel or tow the
vehicle away by sensing changes in
the inclination of the vehicle.
Note:
When travelling on a ferry with
the alarm armed, deactivate the tilt
sensors by selecting reduced guard.
This will prevent the alarm from being
triggered by the movement.
Triggering the alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered
in any of the following ways:
•
If someone opens a door, the
tailgate or the bonnet without a
valid key or remote control.
•
If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.
•
If the ignition is turned to position
I, II or III without a valid key.
•
If the interior sensors detect
movement within the vehicle.
