Anti-theft alarm system*Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm triggers if unauthorised movements are
detected around the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal
it. The system will emit acoustic and optical warning signals if someone is

on the radio-frequency remote control*. The system is immediately
activated 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.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open, they will not be included in the
protection zones of the vehicle when the alarm is connected. If the door or the
bonnet are subsequently closed, they will be automatically included in the
protection areas of the vehicle and the indicators will flash accordingly when
the doors close.•The indicator light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the alarm..•The indicator light will flash once on closing and activating the alarm.

within the next 15 seconds•Opening a door•Opening the bonnet
•Opening the tailgate•Ignition switched on with a non-validated key.•Movements in the driving compartment (vehicles with a volume sensor)•Towing of the vehicle
