BMW serie 7 1999 Manual Do Utilizador

Alarm system

The vehicle alarm system responds:

> When a door, the hood or the lug-

gage compartment lid 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 si-
multaneously 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
by using a key or with the remote con-
trol, the alarm system is also simulta-
neously armed or disarmed.
The interior motion sensor is activated
approx. 30 seconds after you have fin-
ished 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 compart-
ment by pressing button 3 on the re-
mote control transmitter. When the lid is
closed, it is armed once again.

Indicator lamp displays

> The indicator lamp on the top of the

instrument panel flashes continu-
ously: The system is armed

> The indicator lamp flashes during

arming: door(s), the hood or luggage
compartment lid 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 inte-
rior motion sensor is not activated

> If the indicator lamp goes out when

the system is disarmed: No unau-
thorized entries have been detected
in the period since the system was
armed
