Starting the Vehicle – S30 & S34 Models with Key Theft Protection
With the Key Theft Protection feature selected, only the alarm system is armed and
disarmed by the Radio Keys (or Touch Keys, Keypad or Ignition PIN entries). The
immobilisation circuit(s) act independently of the alarm, setting automatically a pre-
set time (the Stall & Start Time; usually 30 seconds) after the ignition is switched off and
can only be unset after disarming the alarm, by entering the security system’s unique
PIN into the Keypad (or Ignition in extreme cases). This feature prevents theft of a
vehicle even with the owner’s keys. The Keypad only allows three attempts to enter the
correct PIN code. If a third incorrect PIN code is entered, the security system will ignore
all further PIN code entries for 3 minutes. This is a security feature.
Disarming the system and starting the vehicle:
Whilst the security system is fully armed the dashboard mounted LED will display a
short bright red flash every second.
•
Disarm the alarm system in the normal way (or Touch Key, Keypad or Ignition
PIN).
•
The dashboard mounted LED will be switched to a solid red state for a pre-set
time (the Stall & Start Time; usually 30 seconds) after disarming, as a warning
that Key Theft Protection is active and the vehicle is still immobilised. When this
period lapses the LED returns to the usual immobilisation indication of a short
bright red flash every 3 seconds. (Turning the ignition on will cause the LED to
extinguish, but the vehicle will remain immobilised).
•
To start the vehicle (whilst the LED is now flashing, in the previous solid state or
even with the ignition on) simply enter the security system’s unique PIN into
the Keypad.
•
If the correct PIN is entered the LED will extinguish, indicating that the vehicle
can now be started (If the ignition is on when the correct PIN is entered, then
the LED will already be off, so there will be no confirmation).
If the ignition is not tuned on within 30 seconds of entering the correct PIN, or turning
the engine off, the immobiliser re-sets, this is indicated by a short bright red flash from
the dashboard LED every 3 seconds.
Starting an immobilised vehicle:
•
To start the vehicle (whilst the LED is flashing or even with the ignition on)
simply enter the security system’s unique PIN into the Keypad.
•
If the correct PIN is entered the LED will extinguish, indicating that the vehicle
can now be started (If the ignition is on when the correct PIN is entered, then
the LED will already be off, so there will be no confirmation).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Immobilisation only is indicated by a short bright red flash from the dashboard
LED every 3 seconds. Although the vehicle is immobilised, the alarm system is not
armed in this instance and the interior, doors, boot and bonnet circuits are
not protected until the security system is armed. Only when the dashboard
mounted LED displays a short bright red flash every second is the security
system fully armed.
