Emergency key

The alarm is a system which offers volumetric and perimeter protection: in effect it is capable of carrying out a check on the position of the doors and for the presence of a moving object inside the passenger compartment. In addition, it can carry out the function of excluding the audible alarm (siren) and that of signalling that the remote control battery is discharged by the LED in the remote control and the one in the dashboard coming on.

In particular it is capable of:

• adapting its operation to the laws in force in the various markets governing the use of alarm systems;
• distinguishing permanent or intermittent errors or faults;
• memorizing the number of alarms implemented;
• detecting faults or problems at the connecting cables for the switch and key for de-activating the system.

The alarm system basically comprises: a radio frequency receiver located in the courtesy light, a radio frequency transmitter in the ignition keys which come with the vehicle, two volumetric sensors and switches on the doors and the bonnet and boot lids and lastly the electronic control unit (located in the driver's side wheel arch) which is integrated with an alarm siren.

The alarm is excluded by pressing the remote control button for a long time when the alarm switches on (see page 134/2).

EMERGENCY KEY

The switch and key for the emergency circuit are located near the junction unit.
This makes it possible to exclude the alarm if it is activated on account of a fault in the system.

De-activation By turning the emergency key the control unit emits an audible signal to indicate that the alarm is de-activated (OFF position).

Activation By turning the emergency key the control unit remains silent indicating that the alarm is activated (ON position).
