Alarm system
*
The conceptThe vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood or the tailgate
is opened.
>To movement inside the vehicle
(interior motion sensor).
>To a change of the vehicle's tilt Ð if
someone attempts to steal the wheels
or tow the vehicle without authoriza-
tion, for example.
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
>Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds.
>Activating the hazard warning flashers
for approx. five minutes.
>Flashing the high beams flash on and
off in rhythm with the hazard warning
flashers.
To activate and deactivate the
alarm systemWhen the vehicle is locked or unlocked
by using a key or the remote control,
the alarm system is also armed or
disarmed at the same time.
The interior motion sensor and tilt alarm
sensor are activated 30 seconds after
the last locking operation.
If the alarm system has been armed
correctly, the hazard warning flashers
flash once.
You can have one signal set as
acknowledgment when arming
and disarming.<
You can also open the rear window
when the system is armed by pressing
button 3 of the remote control (refer to
page 37). When it is closed, the rear
window is once again secured.
Indicator lamp displaysThe indicator lamp is located under the
inside rearview mirror.
>The indicator lamp flashes
continuously: the system is armed.
>The indicator lamp flashes when it
is armed: doors, the hood, tailgate
or rear window have not been prop-
erly closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the remaining areas
are deadlocked, and the indicator
lamp flashes continuously after
10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
>The indicator lamp goes out when the
system is disarmed: no manipulation
or attempted intrusions have been
detected in the period since the
system was armed.463us010

>The indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is
disarmed: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding unintentional alarmsThe tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. Doing this prevents a false alarm
from being triggered (in garages with
elevator ramps, for instance), or when
the vehicle is transported by trailer or
train:
Lock the vehicle (= arm the system)
twice. Press button 2 on the remote
control twice in succession or lock the
vehicle twice with the key (refer to
page 36).
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
Reset the alarm system in order to
reactivate both the tilt sensor alarm
system and interior motion sensor.
Interior motion sensorThe transmitter and receiver of the inte-
rior motion sensor are located in a trim
panel in the vehicle's roof.
In order for the interior motion sensor
to function properly, the windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof must be completely
closed.
However, be sure to deactivate the
interior motion sensor (refer to the
previous column "Avoiding uninten-
tional alarms"), when you wish to leave
the windows or the tilt/sunroof open.460de159
