Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.Avoiding unintentional alarmsThe tilt alarm sensor and interior motion

closed.
Nevertheless, you should deactivate
the interior motion sensor, see Avoiding
unintentional alarms, if
>persons or animals are left in the
vehicle
>the windows or the sliding/tilt sunroof
are being left open.
The system deactivates the tilt-
alarm sensor and the interior
motion sensor if the convenience clos-
ing of windows and the sliding/tilt sun-
roof is interrupted in the first 10 sec-
onds and then restarted. The alarm
must then be disarmed and reactivated
before it will resume operation.<
