If there is no valid key inside the vehicle

or the system fails to detect one, a warning

will display on the dash panel screen. This

could happen if any other radio frequency

signal interferes with the key signal (e.g.

from a mobile device accessory) or if the

key is covered by another object (e.g. an

aluminium case).

●

The anti-theft security system can be switch-

ed off each time the vehicle is locked:

Turn the key a second time to the lock posi-

To improve the safety of your vehicle, the

remote control of the system is equipped

with a position sensor. If this remote control

does not detect movement for a certain

length of time, the system will conclude

that the vehicle cannot be opened (e.g. on

a night table) so it will be disabled.

●

Open the vehicle within one minute using

the key blade. The key has been synchron-

ised.

The childproof lock prevents the rear doors

from being opened from the inside. This sys-

tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-

cidentally while the vehicle is running.

CAUTION

●

If necessary, fit the cap.

●

If the battery is not changed correctly,

the vehicle key may be damaged.

This function is independent of the vehicle

electronic opening and locking systems. It

only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-

ted and deactivated manually, as described

below:

●

Use of unsuitable batteries may damage

the vehicle key. For this reason, always re-

place the dead battery with another of the

same voltage, size and specifications.

●

When fitting the battery, check that the

polarity is correct.

hausting if the vehicle has been left parked

for a long period of time. The alarm system

remains activated.

Opening a door that is mechanically un-

locked using the vehicle key without switching

on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in cer-

tain markets, such as the Netherlands, there is

no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is

activated immediately on opening the door).

Once the childproof lock is activated, the

door can only be opened from the outside.

The childproof lock can be activated or de-

activated by inserting the key in the groove

when the door is open, as described above.

●

If, after the audible warning goes off, an-

other monitored area is accessed (e.g. the

rear lid is opened after a door has been

opened), the alarm is triggered again.

The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow

ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched

on. In order to activate it, all the doors and

the rear lid must be closed.

Note

●

If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is

activated without the volumetric sensor

function, relocking will activate the alarm

with all its functions, except the volumetric

sensor. This function is reactivated when

the alarm is switched on again, unless it is

deliberately switched off.

It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-

rated in the anti-theft alarm* which detects

unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-

sound.

If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior

monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must

be done each time that the vehicle is locked;

if not, they will be automatically switched on.

●

If the alarm has been triggered by the

volumetric sensor, this will be indicated by

a flashing of the warning lamp on the driver

door when the vehicle is opened. The flash

is different to the flash indicating the alarm

is activated.

The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-

tow system should be switched off if animals

are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,

their movements will trigger the alarm) or

when, for example, the vehicle is transported

or has to be towed with only one axle on the

ground.

Activation

–

It is automatically switched on when the

anti-theft alarm is activated.

●

Deactivation

The vibration of a mobile phone left in-

side the vehicle may cause the vehicle in-

terior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both

sensors react to movements and shakes in-

side the vehicle.

–

Open the vehicle with the key, either me-

chanically or by pressing the  button on

the remote control. The time period from

when the door is opened until the key is in-

serted in the contact should not exceed 15

seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-

gered.

False alarms

Interior monitoring will only operate correctly

if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-

serve related legal requirements.

●

If on activating the alarm, any door or the

rear lid is open, only the alarm will be acti-

vated. The vehicle interior monitoring and

the anti-tow system will only be activated

once all the doors are closed (including the

rear lid).

The following cases may cause a false

alarm:

–

Press the  button on the remote control

twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-

sors will be deactivated. The alarm system

remains activated.

●

Open windows (partially or fully).

●

Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or

completely).
