gency flasher if it senses unauthorized inter-
ference with the vehicle. When the vehicle is locked the alarm sy-
stem monitors and protects the following parts of the vehicle:
l engine compartment l luggage compartment l doors l factory installed radio l passenger compartment l ignition. The alarm system is switched on or off whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle. Simply turn the key to the lock or unlock position or use the remote control. The system is activated about 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked, and the indicator lights on the front door window sills start flashing. The horn sounds briefly when the car is locked to confirm that the alarm system is operative and that all doors, hood and rear lid are properly closed. If the horn does not sound, or the indicator lights do not flash, check all doors, rear lid and hood and close them properly. The horn will also sound if the door, lid and hood are closed when the system is already switched on. The rear lid can be opened separately even when the system is active. When the rear lid is closed the luggage compartment will again be included in the alarm circuit. When the system is switched on the alarm will be triggered if one of the doors, the en-
gine hood or the rear lid are opened, or if the ignition is switched on or the radio re-
moved. When the alarm is triggered the horn sounds and all four turn signals flash simul-
taneously. The engine cannot be started un-
til the system is switched off with the key or the remote control. 67 67
