EMERGENCY SWITCH WITH KEY
The emergency switch with key for the emergency circuit, whose location is illustrated in the diagram, allows the alarm system to be excluded very quickly when necessary.
De-activation By turning the emergency key in an anti-clockwise direction (OFF position)
Activation By turning the emergency key in a clockwise direction (ON position).
LED
This red LED is located in the centre of the dashboard, on the panel containing the switches for the fog lamps, heated rear windscreen etc.; it has the task of signalling the state of the system and any irregularities (see page 10).
VOLUMETRIC SENSORS
The volumetric sensors allow additional surveillance checking that there are no intrusions in the vehicle. They are incorporated in the front courtesy light and one of them performs the function of a transmitter and the other a receiver.
OPERATION
Switching on the alarm
The alarm is switched on by pressing the remote control button with the key extracted from the ignition switch: the fact that the alarm has been switched on is signalled by the direction indicators coming on for around 2.5 seconds and an auditory signal (beep). The remote control has a range of about 10 metres.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is switched off by pressing the button on the remote control: the fact that it has been switched off is signalled by the direction indicators flashing twice and two corresponding auditory signals (beeps).
It is, however, possible to switch the alarm on with the ignition key in the OFF or PARK position.
The switching on or off is also signalled by the LED coming on and, only in countries where the legislation permits, by visual and auditory signals, as described previously for the "ITALIAN" operating mode.
