Quick Test
To facilitate testing of the alarm system, the unit can be placed into a 'Quick Test' mode by arming the
alarm with one transmitter key, and disarming with another. In this mode, the system will shorten the siren time
to 2 seconds, the immobiliser arm time to 5 seconds, and the settling time to zero. To exit this mode, simply
wait for 2 minutes without any further inputs.
Note that in Quick Test mode, any movement detected by the microwave sensor will trigger only the tell
tale and not the siren. The 2 minute timer will not be extended.
Location of Alarm Components
The alarm system components are located as follows:
- Electronic Controller/Immobiliser: Mounted on the top face of the scuttle beam at passenger's extreme
end. Accessible after removal of the fascia dash panel.
- Siren Unit: Mounted on the underside of the front subframe LH longeron, ahead of the lower wishbone
forward pivot. Accessible after removal of the front undertray.
- Microwave sensor: Mounted behind the centre console.
- Door Sensor: Switch incorporated into each door latch mechanism.
- Tailgate Sensor: Incorporated into the latch mechanism.
MR.2 - CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
The central door locking (CDL) operates on the driver’s and passenger’s doors in conjunction with the
security alarm system.
To open the doors from outside:
To unlock the doors from outside, press the central, unlock button on the transmitter key. The first press
will unlock just the driver’s door. Press a second time to unlock the passenger’s door.
When the door is opened, a fully closed window will drop slightly, preparatory to easing its subsequent
closing, and the interior and footwell will be illuminated. If the driver’s door is opened whilst the ignition is off
but the key is in position, or if the exterior lights are switched on, an audible warning will sound.
On shutting the door, the window will close automatically unless already open by request, and the footwell
illumination will be extinguished. The interior lamp will remain lit for 2 minutes, or until the ignition is switched
on.
Interior Door Lock Switch
If it is desired to lock the doors from inside the car, for example to deter highjack attempts, press the door
lock switch in the cluster inboard of the steering column, with ignition on or off. Both doors will be locked and
the switch will light up as a reminder.
Alternatively, each door can be locked individually by depressing the button at the rear end of each door
sill, but this action will not activate the lock switch illumination.
Dynamic (drive away) Locking
This selectable feature will automatically lock the doors when road speed first exceeds 10 mph (15 km/h).
The doors will remain locked until either the interior door lock switch is pressed, or each door is unlocked manu-
ally by lifting the door sill button.
To select Dynamic Locking, turn on the ignition and hold the interior door locking switch pressed for at
least 5 seconds, until a single beep is heard as confirmation. The feature will remain selected throughout
further ignition cycles until the switch is again pressed for 5 seconds and a double beep is heard, confirming
de-selection.
