Anti-Theft Alarm System
The anti-theft alarm is automatically
armed or disarmed with any of your
vehicle's keys or infrared remote
control by locking or unlocking either
front door or the trunk.
A blinking lamp (1) indicates that the
alarm is armed. Now the engine
cannot be started.
The anti-theft alarm is disarmed when
unlocking either front door or the trunk
with any of your vehicle's keys or
infrared remote control.
Operation
Once the alarm system has been
armed, the exterior vehicle lamps will
flash and the horn will sound
intermittently when someone:
• opens a door,
• opens the trunk,
• opens the hood,
• removes the radio,
• switches on or bridges the ignition
circuit,
• steps on the brake pedal.
The alarm will last approximately 150
seconds in the form of blinking exterior
lamps. At the same time an additional
horn will sound intermittently for 60
seconds, pause for 30 seconds, and
repeat for another 60 seconds. The
alarm will stay on even if the activating
element (a door, for example) is
immediately closed .
Note:
Do not give the master key to an
unauthorized person. We recommend
that you carry the flat key safely with
you so that it is always handy. The flat
key has the same functions as the
master key.
