Accesses
 While the alarm is monitoring, any intrusion  
triggers the siren for approximately 
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the 
direction indicators.  
 The alarm then returns to monitoring mode  
but the triggering event is stored and is 
indicated by rapid flashing of the diode, if 
the alarm is deactivated.  
 The alarm is also triggered following an  
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is 
restored.  
  Automatic  activation 
 Depending on the country in which the  
vehicle is sold: this function activates 
monitoring automatically approximately 
2 minutes after the last door is closed. To 
avoid triggering the alarm when opening a 
door, the unlocking button on the remote 
control must be pressed again.  
  Deactivation  using  the  key 
 Unlock the doors using the key and enter the  
vehicle. Switch on the ignition, identification 
of the key code will switch off the alarm.  
  Deactivation using the remote control 
 When this button (cab and key) is  
pressed, the alarm is deactivated 
when the vehicle is unlocked.  
  Deactivation  of  the  anti-lift protection 
 Press this button to deactivate the  
protection (for example when the 
vehicle is being towed with the 
alarm set). 
 The protection remains active until the 
central unlocking of the doors is activated.  
  Good  practice 
  
To deactivate the siren quickly following  
unwanted triggering:   
   -   switch on the ignition, identification of  the key code will switch off the alarm, 
  -   press the unlocking button (cab and key)  on the remote control.  
 To avoid setting the alarm, when washing 
the vehicle for example, lock the vehicle 
using the key.  
 Unlocking the vehicle using the remote  
control deactivates the siren automatically.  
 ALARM 
 If your vehicle is fitted with an ANTI-THEFT  
ALARM.  
  
this provides:   
   -   exterior perimeter protection by means  of detectors on the doors and bonnet  
and on the electrical supply,   
  -   anti-lift protection.   
  
The equipment also includes a siren and  
a diode which can be seen from outside, 
indicating the three possible statuses of 
the alarm:   
   -   alarm activated (monitoring), slow  flashing of the red diode, 
  -   alarm not activated (not monitoring),  diode off, 
  -   alarm triggered (intrusion signal), rapid  flashing of the red diode when the 
vehicle is unlocked.  
  Activation  of  the  alarm 
 First ensure that all of the accesses are  
closed correctly. 
 The alarm is activated by 
pressing this padlock, the 
protection is active after a few 
seconds.

  Recommended  settings  for  the  air  conditioning   Recommended  settings  for  the  air  conditioning 
 For optimum operation of the system, the settings below are recommended: 
  Recirculation  of  interior  air 
 This position should only be  
temporary.  
 Used with the air conditioning  
switched on and setting of the 
force of blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation 
enables you to obtain the required ambient 
air comfort level with both hot or cold 
settings.  
 Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior  
odours and smoke from entering the 
passenger compartment.    
 When your ambient air comfort level has  
been reached, return to the intake of exterior 
air position to permit renewal of the air in the 
passenger compartment and demisting. This 
operating mode is preferable.  
 This is the preferred operating position.
