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 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 acti-
vated for approx. five minutes. 
>
The high beams flash on and off in 
the same rhythm. 
To activate and deactivate 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. 
The interior motion sensor is activated 
approx. 30 seconds after you have fin-
ished locking the vehicle. 
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. 
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 
button 3 of the remote control. Refer to 
page 
. When you close the liftgate, 
the system 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: a door(s), the hood or liftgate 
are not completely closed. Even if 
you do not close the alerted area, the 
system begins to monitor the remain-
ing areas, and the indicator lamp 
flashes continuously after 10 sec-
onds. 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.
