Locks & Alarm

Mislock
If the direction indicator lights fail to flash three times when the
alarm is armed, this indicates that a door or other aperture is not
fully closed, in which case the alarm system will still be armed and
the engine immobilised, but interior space protection
* will not
have been activated. Once the open door or aperture is closed, the
direction indicators will flash three times to confirm that the alarm
system has rearmed.
If the direction indicators still fail to flash, even though all door,
luggage compartment and bonnet apertures are closed, this
indicates a fault with the alarm system and you should contact your
dealer.
Once armed, the alarm will sound if the taildoor, bonnet or any
door is opened.
Anti-theft alarm indicator light
After locking, the RED indicator light on the instrument panel
flashes rapidly while the alarm system is arming itself.
After 10 seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower frequency,
and continues flashing as an anti-theft deterrent until such time as
the alarm is disarmed.
If the alarm is triggered
The alarm, once activated, will be triggered by any one of the
following actions:
• Operation of the starter switch.
• Activation of the driver or passenger door switches (on
opening).
• Opening of the tailgate/boot.
• Opening of the bonnet.
• Triggering of the volumetric sensor
* (interior space
protection).
If the alarm is triggered, the horn will sound for 30 seconds,
followed by a period of 15 seconds silence. This will be repeated
for 10 cycles or until the alarm is switched off or reset.
Once the 10 cycles are completed, the alarm will need to be reset
before the detectors can trigger the alarm for a further 10 cycles.
To silence the alarm, press either button on the handset, or
unlock/lock the driver’s door using the key.
