Auto Re-arm
If a door is not opened and closed within 2 minutes of a disarming command, the doors will passively re-
lock and the alarm system re-arm.
Passive Immobilisation
In order to provide a measure of automatic vehicle security, independent of any driver initiative, the system
will automatically immobilise the engine’s cranking and fuel pump circuits after the ignition has been turned off
for 40 seconds, or a similar period has elapsed since the last mobilising command. With the ignition off, the
alarm tell tale will indicate that immobilisation is in effect by a brief flash every 1.5 seconds. With ignition on,
immobilisation is indicated by a continuously lit tell tale.
To mobilise the car (i.e. allow engine starting) with ignition on or off, press once the transmitter centre
button; the alarm tell tale will be extinguished.
Arming the Alarm/Locking the Doors
To lock the doors and arm the alarm, remove the ignition key, shut both doors, and check that the tailgate
is properly closed.
- Press once the raised logo button on the transmitter key.
- This command will be acknowledged by a single flash of the hazard lamps.
- Both doors will be locked, and after a settling period of 40 seconds, the engine will be immobilised, and
the alarm system armed.
- The alarm tell tale will flash once every 3 seconds.
- The interior and mood lamps (if lit) will fade off.
Note:
i) If the system is armed when a door is not fully shut, three triple beeps will sound as a warning and the
doors will not be locked. Opening a door will not trigger the alarm.
ii) If the system is armed when the tailgate is not fully closed, three warning double beeps will be heard, and
the doors will not be locked. Opening a door in this instance will trigger the alarm.
When fully armed, and after the settling period of 40 seconds has expired, the alarm will be triggered by
any of the following actions:
- Interruption of the car battery power supply or siren cables.
- Energising the ignition circuit (‘hot wiring’).
- Opening a door;
- Opening the tailgate;
- Movement detected within the cabin (unless de-selected).
If the alarm is triggered, the hazard warning lamps will flash and the wailing siren will sound for a period
of approximately 30 seconds before closing down and resetting, ready for any further triggering input. If a trig-
ger is continuously present (e.g. door left open), the alarm will repeat for a maximum of eight 30 second cycles
before excluding the triggering sensor for the remainder of the armed period.
To silence the siren, press once the central, disarm button on the transmitter key. If necessary, press a
second time to disarm the alarm. Note that if the vehicle battery has been disabled, it will not be possible to
interrupt the siren until completion of the sequence.
