1 - INTRODUCTION
The anti - intrusion alarm system is operated by a with a security code. This technology offers an extremely high level of protection
against any attempt to reproduce the code.
The radio control allows the system to be activated at a distance of 5 - 10 meters from the vehicle.
Other radio sources may cause interference which can reduce the effective range of the radio controls (e.g. amateur radio operators
using the same band).
If the system can not be set / unset using the radio control try again close to the vehicle.
If automatic window closing is connected we raccomended you to stay close to the vehicle while the windows are moving to ensure
safety and security.

3.7 - Deactivating the volumetric ultrasonic sensor
The volumetric sensor can be deactivated
if you want to leave the windows open or if
someone remains in the passenger
compartment.
1) Arm the system pressing button “A” of
the radio control.
2) Press button “A” on the radio control
again within 23 s.
If hyperfrequency or level monitor sensors are fitted, it is possible
to deactivate them by pressing button “A” twice within 23 s.
To confirm that the signal has been received, the turn indicators
will flash twice and the buzzer will give an acoustic signal (if
activated). The sensor will now have been inhibited but all the
other protections will remain activated. The sensors will
automatically activate again the next time the system is armed.
3.8 - Car Finder
This function allows you to find your car in a car park, for example.
When the alarm is armed and the inhibition time has elapsed,
press key “A” on the radio control once and the system will
generate a visual alarm, activating the blinkers (and the buzzer,
if activated) for up to 3 s.
The Car Finder function can only be used when the alarm is
armed.
3.9 - Panic alarm
If the Car Finder function is not activated, an alarm cycle will be
generated (the siren will operate and the turn indicators will
flash) whenever you press button “A” on the radio control, after
23 s have elapsed since arming. If the Car Finder function is
activated, press key “A” on the radio control twice. Press button
“B” on the radio control to interrupt the panic alarm.
3.10 - Garage function
The “Garage” function allows the alarm system to be temporarily
cut out. It is especially useful when leaving a vehicle in a
parking facility where it is necessary to hand over the vehicle’s
keys. When this function is used it is possible to hand over the
keys without having to give the attendant the radiocontrol
device or PIN code as well. Its use is recommended to prevent
unauthorised use of the vehicle. Before handing over the
vehicle, proceed as follows:
• turn on the ignition and open the door on the driver’s side,
keeping the “A” key on the radiocontrol device pressed down
for at least 4 s. During this time the LED will stay on with a
steady light.
Confirmation that the function has been activated is given by
a flash of the direction arrows and a buzzer signal, both lasting
3 s. Each time the ignition is turned on the active status of the
garage function is confirmed by an acoustic signal from the
buzzer and a visual signal from the LED. The radiocontrol
device is operative for locking and unlocking the centralized
locks and activating and disactivating the engine lock but does
not arm the system. The function is disactivated in 3 different
ways:
• by pressing key “B” on the radiocontrol device for 4 s with the
ignition on;
• by pressing the button on the LED panel for 2 s;
• after the vehicle’s ignition has been switched on 10 times.

7 - PERSONAL PIN CODE
As the PIN code enables access to the system, it should not be
left in the unattended vehicle as it can be used to deactivate
the system or to add new radio controls without authorization.
To change your PIN code, follow this simple procedure:
1. Disarm the system using the radio control.
2. Turn the ignition key “on”.
3. Open a door and the bonnet and keep them open during
the programming phase.
4. Press key “A” on the radio control until the turn indicators
flash to indicate that you have accessed the programming
function.
5. Enter the old PIN code:
• Press the button on the emergency panel for the number of
times corresponding to the first digit of the new PIN code.
The LED will flash fast each time you press the button.
• A longer pause will be interpreted by the system as the
number having been fully entered and will be signalled by
a long flash from the LED and a beep from the buzzer.
Proceed in the same way for the other digits.
• Enter the old PIN code again.
6. Enter the new PIN code:
• Turn off the ignition once the fourth digit has been entered.
• Enter the PIN code again. If the system ascertains that the
entered code matches the programmed one, the code will
be memorized. This is signalled by a 3 s flash from the turn
indicators and the LED. Close the door to quit the procedure
at any time. The old PIN code will not be modified in this
case.
