AND EQUIPMENT
• Certification
The remote control device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is sub
ject to the following conditions:
1 - this device may not cause harmful in
terfere nce, and
2 - this device must accept any interfer
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesir ed operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible for
ANY RADIO OR TV Interference caused by
una uthorized modifications to this equip
ment. Such modifications could void the

alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system triggers an
acoustic alarm and switches on the emer
genc y flasher if it senses unauthorized inter
ference with the vehicle.
When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy
stem monitors and protects the following
parts of the vehicle:
• engine compartment
• luggage compartment
• doors
• factory installed radio
• passenger compartment
• ignition.
The alarm system is switched on or off
whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Simply tum the key to the lock or unlock
position or use the remote control.
The system is activated about 30 seconds
after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator
lights on the front door window sills start
flashing. The
horn sounds briefly when the car is
locked to confirm that the alarm system is
operative and that all doors, hood and rear
lid are properly closed. If the hom does not
sound, or the indicator lights do not flash,
check all doors, rear lid and hood and close
them properly. The horn will also sound if
the door, lid and hood are closed when the
system is already switched on.
The rear lid can be opened separately even
when the system is active. When the rear
lid is closed the luggage compartment will
again be included in the alarm circuit.
When the system is switched on the alarm
will be triggered if one of the doors, the en
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the
ign ition is switched on or the radio re
moved.
When the alarm is triggered the hom
sounds and all four turn signals flash simul
taneously. The engine cannot be started un
til the system is switched off with the key
or the remote control.

CONT

EQUIPMENT---------------------

the PANIC switch on your remote control
to alert other people in case of emergency
or when in another difficult situation. The
alarm can be switched off by pressing the
PA NIC switch again.
Warn ing lights
After you lock the vehicle, the warning light
on the window sills will blink quickly first for
30 seconds and will then blink slowly. This
is to let you know that the anti-theft alarm
system is activated, including the interior
move ment sensors.
If the warning lights come on continuously
for about 30 seconds instead of flashing
when the vehicle is locked, this indicates
that the interior movement sensor is defec
tive.
