The anti-theft alarm triggers an alarm if unauthorised move-
ments are detected around the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm makes it more diffi cult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. Audible and visible alarms are triggered if the car is opened using the
mechanical key, or if unauthorised access is gained to the vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically switched on when the vehicle is
locked. The system is then primed. When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the fol
lowing unauthorised actions are carried
out when the car is locked:
•
Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the vehicle key
•
Opening a door
•
Opening the bonnet
•
Opening the tailgate
•
Switching on the ignition
•
Movements in the vehicle
•
Undue manipulation of the alarm
•
Battery handling
The horn sounds and the indicators flash for approx. 30 seconds. This may be
repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.
Opening the doors mechanically (emergency opening)
If the remote control function fails, you will have to use the key to unlock the
car. This is done as follows:
•
Unfold the key by pressing the button shown by the (arrow).
•
Use the lock on the driver door to un lock the vehicle. The anti-theft alarm
system remains active, but an alarm is not triggered immediately.
•

on, the electronic immobiliser recognises a valid vehicle key and deactivates
the anti-theft alarm system. If you do not switch on the ignition within 15
seconds, the alarm is triggered.
How is the alarm switched off?
When the vehicle is unlocked via the unlocking button of the remote control
or when the key is inserted in the ignition lock.

Note
•
If, after the alarm goes off, access is gained to a second secured zone
(e.g. the tailgate is opened after a door has been opened), the warning signal
is triggered again.
•
Vehicle monitoring remains active even if the battery is disconnected or
not working for any reason.
•
The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is active.
Volumetric sensor*
Monitoring or control function incorporated in the anti-theft
alarm* that detects unauthorized vehicle entry using ultra-
sound.The system consists of 3 sensors, 2 emitters and a receptor.
Activation
– It is automatically turned on with the anti-theft alarm, when the
vehicle is locked mechanically with the key and when the button on the remote control is used.
Deactivation
– Press the button on the remote control twice. Only the volu- metric sensor is deactivated. The alarm system remains acti-
vated.
WARNING
•

sensor is deactivated.
•
For those vehicles in which a separate sunblind is fitted in the
passenger compartment, the alarm will not function correctly due to inter-
ference with the sensor.Note
•
If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-
cated by a flashing of the indicator on th e driver's door. This flashing will be
different to that for an activated alarm.
