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 initiate acoustic and optical warning signals when your
vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically connected on locking the
vehicle. For this, either rotate the key in the locking position or press button
on the radio-frequency remote control*. The system is immediately
activated and the turn signal light located on the driver door will flash along
with the turn signals, 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 turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.•The turn signal light will flash twice on opening and deactivating the
alarm.•The turn signal light will flash once on closing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are carried
out when the car is locked:•Opening of vehicle with mechanical key without switching ignition on
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
8)
•Tilt angle (tow-away protection)

opened using the driver door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec. and the ignition will be blocked.Note

from exhausting if the vehicle has been left parked for a long period of time.
The alarm system remains activated.•The alarm will trigger again if attempts are made to open another protec-
tion zone.•The alarm system can be activated or deactivated using the remote
