Description
The intruder alarm system offers volumetric
              and perimeter protection.A control unit (inside the Body Computer)
              controls:
- status of doors, boot and bonnet via switches in the locks
              (perimeter control);
- the presence of a moving object inside the passenger compartment,
              via volumetric sensors. (volumetric control)
- the condition of system supply leads;
- operation of the ignition switch.
The control unit is equipped with an autodiagnostic
              function which detects and memorizes faults in the control unit
              itself and the system components; it also checks the condition of
              link cables and stores the number of activations and the number
              of alarms. The control unit operating software may
              be altered to meet regulations governing the use of alarm systems
              applicable in different markets.

                           The alarm siren is located at the front,
              under a Locary on the left of the engine compartment.The remote control system consists of a
              sending unit built into the key and a receiver built into the Body
              Computer.The same switches as for the central locking
              system are used to control the doors and lids. A special switch
              detects bonnet closure. (A buzzer goes off if the body computer
              detects that one of the doors or the boot is open and the car is
              travelling faster than 3 km/h).The volumetric sensors check for car intruders.
              They are located in the two centre pillars.  Both are twin sensors,
              i.e. consisting of an emitter and a receiver: the wave transmitted
              by an emitter should reach the receiver of the other sensor and
              viceversa: if this is not the case, an alarm signal is sent to the
              control unit.The deterrent LED is located on the central
              control panel and indicates the state of the system (on, off, etc.
              ) plus any faults.All external components are connected to
              the Body Computer via a dedicated serial line.
