ALARM RINGING WITHOUT A REASON
With the alarm on, the alarm cycles are set off without any apparent cause and without any attempts to break into the vehicle.
If it is not possible to stop the siren and deactivate the alarm using the remote control, simply turn the key to the MAR position
The system can therefore recognize the transponder and be authorised to deactivate the alarm system
