52 Security Panic-function In the car alarm system there is a feature called "Panic-function". To activate panic function: • Push and hold one of the buttons on the key for 2 seconds. Or, if you are sitting inside the car, push the LOCK-switch on the center console for 2 seconds. These actions will trigger the alarm (hazard warning lights and horn). To deactivate panic function: • Push one of the buttons on the key, push the LOCK-switch in the center console, turn the key in the driver´s door or turn the ignition to ON. When the panic-function is activated the car will be locked/unlocked depending upon which button was pushed. When the ignition is ON the panic-function cannot be activated. Alarm signals When the car alarm is armed, it will be triggered if any door, or the trunk lid or hood, is opened. The alarm will also be triggered if an attempt is made to bypass or short-circuit the ignition switch, or to disconnect the battery. If the alarm is triggered, the following alarm signals will be set off: • Flashing of hazard warning lights for five minutes. • Horn wailing for 30 seconds. The alarm signals will stop if the alarm is deactivated (car unlocked) during the alarm period.
