Anti-theft alarm system*
Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm triggers if unauthorised movements are
detected around the vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. The system will emit acoustic and optical warning signals if someone is
trying to force your vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically connected on locking the
vehicle. For this, either rotate the key in the locking position or press button
on the radio-frequency remote control*. The system is immediately
activated and the indicator light located on the driver's door will flash along
with the indicators, indicating that the alarm and the locking security system
(double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open, they will not be included in the
protection zones of the vehicle when the alarm is connected. If the door or the
bonnet are subsequently closed, they will be automatically included in the
protection areas of the vehicle and the indicators will flash accordingly when
the doors close.
• The indicator light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the alarm..
• The indicator light will flash once on closing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are carried
out when the car is locked:
• Opening of vehicle with mechanical key without switching ignition on
within the next 15 seconds
• Opening a door
• Opening the bonnet
• Opening the tailgate
• Ignition switched on with a non-validated key.
• Movements in the driving compartment (vehicles with a volume sensor)
• Towing of the vehicle
7)
• Tilt angle (tow-away protection)
7)
• Undue manipulation of the alarm
• Battery handling
The acoustic signals sound and the indicators flash for approx. 30 seconds.
This may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the key to the opening direction, open
the door and switch the ignition on, or press the unlocking button on the
remote control.
In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm system, you have 15 seconds to
insert the key in the ignition lock and activate the ignition if the vehicle is
opened using the driver's door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec. and the ignition will be blocked.
Note
• After 28 days, the indicator light will be switched off to prevent the battery
from exhausting if the vehicle has been left parked for a long period of time.
The alarm system remains activated.
• The alarm will trigger again if attempts are made to open another protec-
tion zone.
• The alarm system can be activated or deactivated using the remote
control ⇒ page 75.
