Alarm system
> If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is dis-
armed: An attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the in-
dicator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered (in garages
with elevator ramps, for instance), or
when the vehicle is transported by
trailer or train:
Actuate the lock (= arm the system)
twice; in other words, press button 2 of
the remote control twice in succession
(refer to page 34). You may also actuate
the locks twice with the key (refer to
page 34).
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
Interior motion sensor
The illustration depicts the transmitter
and receiver of the interior motion sen-
sor.
In order for the interior motion sensor
to function properly, the windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof must be completely
closed.
However, you should switch off the
interior motion sensor (see previous
column under the heading "Avoiding
unintentional alarms") if you wish to
leave the windows or sliding/tilt sunroof
open.
