THE ALARM SYSTEM
Setting and deactivating the
alarm
The alarm completes the security
equipment for your vehicle. It offers
two types of protection.
• exterior protection: when it is set,
the alarm sounds if a door, the
boot or the bonnet is opened;
• interior protection: when it is set,
the alarm sounds if the sensors
detect a variation in the air move-
ment inside the vehicle (break-
ing of a window) or movement
inside the vehicle.
The alarm is also equipped with an
anti-tamper function.
If an attempt is made to tamper with
the wires to the siren, control unit or
the battery, the alarm is triggered:
the siren sounds and the headlamps
come on.

Switch the ignition off and get out
of the vehicle.

remote control key.
The doors lock.

seconds.
The red light on the switch flashes

closed correctly, the siren sounds for
a moment. If the vehicle is closed
