Performing a functional test
8.1
Testing the sensors
The shock sensor is preset at the factory. Its sensitivity is correctly set if it
triggers the alarm in the event of a heavy impact against the vehicle.
Conduct the function test as follows:
➤ Activate the alarm system (see "Arming the alarm system" on page 35).
➤ Shake the vehicle.
If the alarm is triggered by blows to the windows, the sensitivity must be
reduced (see "Setting the sensitivity of the shock sensor" on page 38).
If the shock sensor is set too sensitively, the alarm may be triggered by
passing vehicles. For this reason set the sensitivity carefully and not too high.
8.2
Testing other alarm inputs
➤ Test the function of the other alarm inputs in sequence by triggering an
alarm.
8.3
Testing audible and visible signals
During the alarm the siren and the status LED must signal the alarm.
8.4
Testing the remote control
➤ Test all of the switching functions with both remote controls.
If the system does not respond to a remote control device, reprogram it ("Pro-
gramming remote control devices" on page 37).
Note
The range of the remote control can be limited by solid metal parts
and strong electrical fields, it is usually between 10 m to 20 m.
