Alarm system

- 6-second when the door is reclosed to allow the driver to enter the car and turn the ignition key on; - 6 seconds when the door is reclosed to allow the driver to enter the car and insert the ignition key. The timer locks when the ignition is turned on; - 6 seconds when the ignition key is taken out; - 3 minutes to prevent the battery charging if the door is accidentally left open.

NOTE When any of the doors is opened, the timer begins again from zero.

TIMED OPERATION OF THE HEATED REAR WINDOW (and door mirrors)

The control unit operates the heated rear window (and the door mirrors demister coils) on a timer as follows: - key turned ON; - an activation signal is received from the switch on the facia; - an activation signal is received from the air conditioner (MAX DEF) The power supply ceases if: - the key is turned to STOP or taken out - a deactivation signal is received from the switch on the facia; - a MAX DEF function deactivation signal is received.

If one of these two signals is not received, the timer keeps the coils activated for 20 MINUTES, but a specific system is applied: - the power supply stays on AT ALL TIMES for the first 10 MINUTES; - During the SUBSEQUENT TEN MINUTES, the power is cut off if battery voltage drops below 11.6 V (and is restored if voltage rises to more than 13V). Once the first 20 minutes of operation have elapsed, the heated rear window relay control working cycle is 2 minutes active and 2 minutes deactivate until the heated rear window control switch is turned off. During the active stage, battery voltage affects operation as described previously. When the rear window remains active, the warning light is turned on.

NOTE A command from the facia switch always takes priority over the MAX DEF function, i.e. if the rear window is turned on using the MAX DEF command and the facia switch is pressed, the heated rear window will go off.
