Operation

OPERATION

Switching on - Switching off

The alarm is switched on by pressing the transmitter (remote control) switch and the fact that it is on is signalled by the direction indicators coming on for around 2.5 seconds and a corresponding audible signal (beep).

The operating range is about 10 metres.

The alarm is switched off by the transmitter (remote control) switch being pressed again and this is signalled by the direction indicators flashing twice for 0.5 seconds and two corresponding audible signals (beeps).

It is not possible to switch on the alarm with the ignition switch in the ON position, but only in the OFF or PARK positions.

The switching on or off is also signalled by the LEDs and, in countries where the law permits, also by the above mentioned visual and audible signals (for example: Italy).

Excluding the system

If the transmitter batteries are discharged or the system fails it is possible to deactivate the alarm using the emergency key located behind the lower dashboard cover, driver's side (OFF position).

When the vehicle is delivered, check that the emergency key is in the ON position.

Turn the key to the OFF position if the vehicle is not used for long periods (more than a month).

By placing the key in the ON position again, if the battery is not sufficiently charged or if the control unit has been disconnected, the alarm will give an intermittent audible signal lasting 10 beeps (excluding certain countries where this is not allowed).

Surveillance

During surveillance the LED flashes at a frequency of 0.8 Hz.

In this state the alarm system surveys:

• the doors, the bonnet lid and the boot lid;
• one disconnection of the battery/cables cut;
• the non authorized insertion of the ignition switch;
• movements inside the passenger compartment (volumetric surveillance).

Alarm state

The alarm is triggered off when one of the surveillance sensors (see previous list) detects an irregular situation.

The alarm state is displayed by the activating of the alarm for a maximum of 3 26 second cycles, only if the cause of the alarm persists and by the direction indicators for a maximum of 4.7 minutes still if the cause of the alarm persists (only in countries where the law permits).

To exit from the alarm situation:

• press the transmitter button;
• use the emergency key (N.B. The alarm on condition, however, remains memorized inside the control unit. Only use this procedure if you do not manage to escape from the alarm situation).
