Description of anti-theft alarm system*
With the anti-theft alarm, break-in attempts and theft of the vehicle
are rendered more difficult. The system triggers acoustic and
optical warning signals if someone tries to gain unauthorised
access to the vehicle.
The alarm system is automatically turned on when the driver’s door
is locked. To lock the door either turn the key once in the lock
towards the locking position or press button
2on the radio-
frequency remote control*. The system is activated immediately
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.

When you lock the car the indicator pilot lights will only come on ifthe
alarm has been properly activated (all security areas have been properly
locked).
If a door or the boot are left open when the alarm is connected, they will not
be incorporated into the car’s protection system. If after you lock the doors
or boot, they will be automatically incorporated into the securityareas and
the indicator signals will show.
The alarm will be triggered if, with the vehicle locked, one of
•the doors,
•the bonnet, or
•the boot
is opened or
•the ignition is switched on.
When the alarm is triggered the horn sounds and a flashing signal
is activated for about 30 seconds.

• The warning lamp goes out after approx. 28 days. This prevents the
battery becoming discharged when the vehicle is not used for a long period.
The alarm system remains activated.
• The alarm signal will be triggered a second time if one of the protectedparts of the car is interfered with again after the alarm signal has stopped
(for instance if the tailgate is opened after one of the doors has been
opened).
• The alarm can also be activated and deactivated via the radio wave
remote control*. Further information can be found under the heading
“Radio-frequency remote control key”.
• In vehicles fitted with an additional alarm system*, if the vehicle is
accessed with the key on the driver’s door, you have 15 seconds to insert
the key in the ignition lock and switch on ignition. If not the alarm is set off
for 30 seconds and it will be impossible to start engine.
The alarm can only be disconnected by pressing the "open" key on the
remote control.
In vehicles without a remote control key you will have to wait for 30 seconds
until the alarm stops. Lock the door and repeat the previously described
process.
If the vehicle is accessed through any door other than the driver’s door or
the tailgate the alarm will be set off for 30 seconds.
K
Volumetric sensor*
This is a surveillance function or a control incorporated in the anti-
theft alarm system which detects through ultrasound unauthorized
access to the vehicle interior (i.e. through a window).
The system has 3 sensors, 2 transmitters and one receiver.

The volumetricsensor is deactivated when:
– Unlocking the vehicle manually with the key in the door lock

by radio wave remote control.
– When the lock button on the remote control is pressed twice,
only the volumetricsensor is deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.

• If, after deactivating the volumetric sensor, the door is locked with the
remote control or manually with the key in the door lock within less than 30
seconds the volumetric sensor is deactivated even though all other anti-
theft alarm functions remain activated.
• After this time-span the deactivation of the volumetric sensor is canceled.
• In case of relocking while the alarm was activated without the volumetric
sensor function, this relocking will cause a connection of all the alarm
functions, except for the volumetric sensor. If it was not disconnected
voluntarily it will be reactivated during the following alarm connection.
• If the volumetricsensor caused the alarm to set off this will be indicated
by flickering of the pilot light in the driver’s door when unlocking the
vehicle. This flickering is different than the flickering of the activated alarm. • If the volumetricsensor has caused the alarm to set off three times the
alarm system will no longer go off.
• Other sensors (door opening, luggage compartment, etc.) will continue to
set off the alarm.

While pressing the "open" or "close" buttons, a LED will flash on the key. If
this LED does not appear, it may mean that the key’s battery is depleted. In
this case, have the battery tested or changed at a Technical Service Centre.
When the dead-lock mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* are activated,
proceed as follows:
If the vehicle is unlocked by using the open button on the radio-frequency
remote control*, all of the doors and the boot
1)will be relocked
automatically if they are not opened within 30 seconds. However, the
locking security system and the anti theft alarm will remain deactivated
during these 30 seconds. This function prevents the vehicle being
accidentally left open following the unintentional use of the remote control

General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P” or “N” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.

• Do not over-rev or use full throttle until the engine has reached the normal
operating temperature.
• On vehicles with a catalytic converter the engine must not be started by
towing the vehicle in excess of 50 m. Otherwise unburned fuel can pass into
the converter and lead to damage.
• Before trying to start the engine by towing, an attempt should be made, if
possible, to use the battery of another vehicle
