Alarm system

The concept

The vehicle alarm system responds:

When a door, the hood, or the liftgate
is opened

To movement inside the vehicle (inte-
rior motion sensor)

To variations in the vehicle tilt angle
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 acti-
vated 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
with the key or the remote control, the
alarm system is also simultaneously
armed or disarmed.

You can have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm

system arming and disarming.

You can still open the liftgate after the
system has been armed by pressing the
button of the remote control, refer to
page

. When you close the liftgate, it

is secured again.

Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed

The indicator lamp flashes during
arming: the door(s), the hood or lift-
gate are not completely closed. Even
if you do not close the alerted area,
the system begins to monitor the
remaining areas, and the indicator
lamp flashes continuously after
10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated

If the indicator lamp goes out when
the system is disarmed: no manipula-
tion or attempted intrusions have
been detected in the period since the
system was armed
