Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given by a battery powered siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 25 seconds.
"Panic" button
In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention. Activate the "panic" function by pressing the
red button on the remote control (see illustration on page 81
) for at least 3 seconds or by pressing this button twice
within 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash, the interior lights will go on and the car's horn will sound.
The function can be turned off by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or will stop automatically
after 25 seconds. When a button is pressed, there is a 5 second delay before the panic alarm is deactivated.

Press the knob to switch on or turn off the radio.
Volume control
Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume. Volume control is electronic and does not have an end stop. If you have
a key pad in the steering wheel, increase or decrease the volume with the + or - buttons.
Volume control - ALARM
If a CD is playing when the radio receives an alarm bulletin (available in certain areas only), the CD player enters
pause mode. The bulletin is broadcast at the volume selected for this type of message.
After the bulletin has been completed, the audio system reverts to the originally selected sound source (radio or CD),
which is played at the volume that was selected for that source.
If the bulletin volume is adjusted while the bulletin is being broadcast, this new volume is saved and used for
subsequent bulletins.
