Activation without monitoring of
vehicle inclination
Additionally, disable monitoring of
vehicle inclination because of high
volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm, e.g.
when the vehicle is on a ferry or train:
Switch ignition on and off three times
in quick succession, then close doors and activate the anti-theft alarm
system.
An audible signal will sound as
confirmation.
The status will remain until the doors
are unlocked.
Alarm
When triggered, the alarm sounds via a separate battery-backed power
sounder, and the hazard warning
lights flash simultaneously. The
number and duration of alarm signals
are stipulated by legislation.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected
or its power supply is interrupted, the
alarm siren will be triggered. Firstdeactivate the anti-theft alarm system if the vehicle battery must be
disconnected.
To silence the alarm siren (if
triggered) and therefore deactivate
the anti-theft alarm system, reconnect vehicle battery and unlock vehicle
with remote control button c (or
switch on the ignition).
Immobiliser
The system is part of the ignition
switch and checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to be started with
the key being used.
The immobiliser is activated
automatically after the key has been removed from the ignition switch and
also if the key is left in the ignition
switch when the engine is turned off.
If the engine cannot be started, switch off the ignition and remove key, wait
approx. 2 seconds and then repeat
the start attempt.If start attempt is
unsuccessful, attempt to start the
engine using the spare key and seek
the assistance of a workshop.Notice
The immobiliser does not lock the
doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on the anti-theft alarm system 3 19,
3 27.
