The alarm system
When the alarm is armed, it continually moni-
tors all alarm inputs. The alarm is triggered if:
• the bonnet is opened
• the boot lid is opened
• a side door is opened
• the ignition switch is turned with a non-
approved key or subjected to force
• movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if a motion sensor is fitted –
option for certain markets only)
• the car is raised or towed away (if a tilt
sensor is fitted – option for certain markets
only)
• a battery cable is disconnected.
• anyone tries to disconnect the siren.
Activating the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote con-
trol. A long flash signal from the direction in-
dicators of the car confirms that the alarm is
armed and all doors are closed. In certain
markets, the key or the control in the driver’s
door can be used to arm the alarm.
Deactivating the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control. Two short flashes from the car’s di-
rection indicators confirm that the alarm has
been deactivated.
If the remote control batteries are discharged
then the alarm can be disarmed by turning
the key to ignition position II.
Automatic alarm activation
If none of the doors or the boot lid is opened
within two minutes of the alarm being dis-
armed, and the car was unlocked with the re-
mote control, the car re-arms the alarm auto-
matically. The car locks at the same time.
This function prevents you from accidentally
leaving the car without the alarm on.
In certain countries (e.g. Belgium, Israel) the
alarm is reactivated after a certain delay if the
driver’s door was opened and closed but the
car was not re-locked.
Deactivating a triggered alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control if the alarm sounds and you wish to
deactivate it. Two short flashes of the direc-
tion indicators signal confirmation.
Audio signal – Alarm
The audio signal is given from a siren with a
reserve battery. Each alarm signal lasts
25 seconds.
Visual signal – Alarm
When the alarm is triggered, all direction indi-
cators flash for 5 minutes or until the alarm is
deactivated as described earlier.
IMPORTANT
The alarm is fully armed when the car’s di-
rection indicators have made one long flash
and the LED on the dashboard flashes once
every other second.
