If fi tted on your vehicle, this provides
two types of protection:


- exterior protection: it sounds if a

a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
A red indicator light, located in the
centre of the fascia, indicates the
information detailed below.
To lock your vehicle without setting the
alarm, insert the key in the lock then
lock the vehicle (e.g. for washing).
When the alarm is triggered, the siren
sounds and the direction indicator lights
fl ash for thirty seconds.
Warning - alarm triggered: the red indicator
