Car Security Alarm
The Lotus Elise is fitted with a Cobra 8186 immobiliser/alarm
which includes the following features:
• ‘Dynamic coding’ of the transmitter fobs; Each time the trans-
mitters are used, the operating frequency is random changed
to guard against unauthorised code copying.
• Automatic (passive) engine immobilisation to prevent the
engine from being started without the transmitter fob.
• Sensing switches on doors, front body access panels and the
engine cover, meaning the alarm sounds if someone tries to
force entry.
• Personal protection by ‘on demand’ activation of the siren.
• Selectable cockpit intrusion sensing using a microwave
sensor.
• Self powered siren to maintain protection if the car battery is
disconnected.
Transmitter Fobs
Two transmitter fobs are provided with the car to operate the
immobiliser/alarm system. The two transmitters should be kept
separate, and a replacement obtained immediately after any
loss to ensure that a spare is always available.
Each individual alarm system has a unique serial number
and an owner’s Personal Identification Number (PIN), both of
which are printed on a code card supplied with the car. In order
to allow replacement transmitters to be ordered, it is essential
that these numbers are recorded and kept safely with the car
documents. If the code card is not available on receipt of the
