stte

With the anti-theft

alarm, break-in

attempts and theft of the vehicle are ren-
dered  more  difficult.  The  system  triggers
acoustic and  optical warning  signals if
someone  tries to  gain  unauthorised
access to the vehicle.

The alarm system and the locking security
system  (double  lock)  are  automatically
activated  when  the  driver’s door  is
locked.  To  lock the  door  either  turn  the
key o

e in the lock towards the locking

position or press button 2

2 on the radio-

frequency remote  control*. The  system  is
then  activated  immediately and  the  indi-
cator  light located  on  the  driver’s door
will flash  along  with  the  flashers indicat-
ing that the system have been turned on.

•

For vehicles equipped with an addi-

tional alarm  system*  ,  if you  access the
car  by using  the  driver’s door  key you
have 15 seconds to introduce the key into
the  ignition  lock and  activate  it.  Other-
wise  the  alarm  will trigger  off for  30  sec.
and car start up will be deactivated.

You can only turn off the alarm by press-
ing the "open" key on the remote control.

For  cars without radio-frequency remote
control keys you  must wait for  30  sec.
until the  alarm  cuts off.  Then  close  the
door  with  the  key and  repeat the  previ-
ously described process all over again.

The alarm signal will be triggered for 30
seconds if access is attempted via any
door that is not the driver's.

otte

When you lock the car the indicator pilot
lights will only come on if the alarm has
been properly activated (all security areas
have been properly locked).

If a  door  or  the  boot are  left open  when
the  alarm  is connected,  they will not be
incorporated into the car’s protection sys-
tem.  If after  you  lock the  doors or  boot,
they will be  automatically incorporated
into  the  security areas and  the  indicator
signals will show.

If the vehicle is locked and the alarm is
activated, you do not need to open the car
to deactivate it.

To do this, turn the key twice in the dri-
ver’s door lock to the lock position or
press twice the lock button in the key han-
dle fitted with the radio-frequency remote
control.

The alarm will be triggered if, with the
vehicle locked, one of

•

the doors,

•

the bonnet, or

•

the boot

is opened or

•

the ignition is switched on.

When the alarm is triggered the horn
sounds and a flashing signal is activated
for about 30 seconds.

OPENING AND CLOSING

HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

•

The warning lamp goes out after

approx. 28 days. This prevents the battery
becoming discharged when the vehicle is
not used for a long period. The alarm sys-
tem remains activated.

•

The alarm signal will be triggered a sec-

ond  time  if one  of the  protected  parts of
the  car  is interfered  with  again  after  the
alarm  signal has stopped  (for  instance  if
the  tailgate  is opened  after  one  of the
doors has been opened).

•

The alarm can also be activated and

deactivated  via  the  radio  wave  remote-
control*.  Further  information  can  be
found  under  the  heading  ”Radio  wave
remote control”.

orr*

This is a surveillance function or a control
incorporated  in  the  anti-theft alarm  sys-
tem  which  detects through  ultrasound
unauthorized  access to  the  vehicle  inte-
rior (i.e. through a window).

This system has two sensors: a transmit-
ter and a receiver.

cttiiv

atte

The volumetric sensor is switched on
automatically when the anti-theft alarm is
activated whether by locking manually
with the key or by remote control.

cttiiv

atte

The volumetric sensor is deactivated
when:

1 – Unlocking the vehicle manually with

the key in the door lock or by radio
wave remote control.

2 – Pressing the button

located in the

vehicle’s interior  behind  the  driver’s
door in the lower part for at least one
second  immediately after  having
unlocked  the  driver’s door  and  after
having  removed  the  key from  the
ignition.

otte

•

If, after deactivating the volumetric

sensor, the door is locked with the remote
control or manually with the key in the
door lock within less than 30 seconds the
volumetric sensor is deactivated even
though all other anti-theft alarm functions
remain activated.

•

After this time-span the deactivation of

the volumetric sensor is canceled.

•

In case of relocking while the alarm was

activated  without the  volumetric sensor
function,  this relocking  will cause a  con-
nection  of all the  alarm  functions,  except
for the volumetric sensor. If it was not dis-
connected  voluntarily it will be  reacti-
vated  during  the  following alarm  connec-
tion.

•

If the volumetric sensor caused the

alarm  to  set off this will be  indicated  by
flickering  of the  pilot light in  the  driver’s
door  when  unlocking  the  vehicle.  This
flickering is different than the flickering of
the activated alarm.

•

If the volumetric sensor has caused the

alarm to set off three times the alarm sys-
tem will no longer go off.

•

Other sensors (door opening, luggage

compartment, etc.) will continue to set off
the alarm.

The lamps will only function with the igni-

they automatically switch to the side
lights.

Low, high beam and flash light. See

A warning lamp in the instrument panel

lights up when the rear fog light is
switched on.

•

Due to the amount of dazzle it causes,

the rear fog light should only be switched
on when the visibility is very poor (e.g. in
some E.U. countries, 50 metres).

The electrical system of the factory fitted
tow bar* is wired up so that when towing
a trailer fitted with rear fog lights, the rear
fog lights on the towing vehicle are auto-
matically switched off.
