Operating the alarm

First make sure all the doors are closed.

The alarm is armed by pressing button C on the remote control.

With the alarm armed, the protections are active after 5 seconds (perimeter) and 45 seconds (volumetric).

When the alarm is armed (on standby), any intrusion will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, accompanied by the direction indicators lighting up.

The alarm then goes back on standby. The triggering remains memorised. The warning lamp on button A ashes quickly when the alarm is deactivated by pressing the unlocking button B. This ashing stops when you switch on the ignition.

Deactivating the volumetric detection

You can operate the alarm with perimeter protection only, by deactivating the volumetric protection (if for example you wish to leave an animal in the vehicle).

Deactivation of the volumetric detection

Switch off the ignition. Within 10 seconds, press button A

until the warning lamp remains on permanently.

Exit the vehicle. Lock or deadlock the vehicle with

the remote control locking button. The light on button A ashes once

a second.

Note: It is recommended to deactivate the volumetric detection when washing the vehicle in order to prevent the random triggering of the alarm.

Automatic activation (depending on country)

The alarm is armed automatically, 2 minutes after the last door, or the boot, has been closed.

In order to prevent the alarm from triggering when you open one of the doors or the boot, it is essential to press the unlocking button B again on the remote control.

The siren is also triggered if there is a cutting of the electrical supply. To stop it, restore the electrical supply then press on the unlocking button

Note:

If you want to lock your vehicle without arming the alarm, just lock with the key only.

If you lock your vehicle and a door, or the boot, is still open, the central locking does not operate but the alarm will arm itself after approx. 45 seconds.

Note: The siren is automatically deactivated (for example for disconnecting the battery) as soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control.
