40nAlarm system
The vehicle alarm system responds:
> When a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
> To movement inside the vehicle (interior
motion sensor)
> To variations in the vehicle tilt sensor
such as occur during attempts to
steal the wheels or tow the vehicle
> To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by simultaneously
activating the following:
> Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
> The hazard warning flashers are activated
for approx. five minutes
> The high beams flash on and off in
the same rhythm.
To arm and disarm the alarm
system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
by using a key or with the remote control,
the alarm system is also simultaneously
armed or disarmed.
The interior motion sensor is activated
approx. 30 seconds after you have finished
locking the car.
The system indicates that it has been
correctly armed by switching on the
hazard flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustical signal.
When the system is active, you can still
gain access to the luggage compartment
by pressing button 3 on the remote
control transmitter. When the lid is
closed, it is armed once again.
