3. Operation of Programmable Features
(if selected and/or installed by your dealer)
Auto-Arm
Auto-Arm automatically arms the security system if the vehicle is accidentally left
unarmed. The security system will automatically arm a pre-set time (the Auto-Arm
Time; usually 60 seconds) after the ignition has been switched off, the vehicle
vacated, and the last door, boot or bonnet has been closed. If a door, boot or bonnet
remains open, or is opened during the Auto-Arm Time, the security system will not
arm until that door, boot or bonnet is closed. As a warning that Auto-Arm is going to
automatically arm the system, the siren will sound 2 warning bleeps when you open
the door to exit the vehicle.
Note: If the “Door Open, Closed Loop and Auto Arm Warning Bleeps” have been
programmed to “off” there will be no warning bleeps to advise you that this feature is
active.
Auto-Arm with Door Locking
This option operates in the same way as Auto-Arm; however the vehicle’s doors will
also automatically lock at the same time the security system Auto-Arms, if this facility
is included with your security system.
Note: Be sure to remove your car keys when leaving the vehicle if you have chosen
the Auto-Arm with Door Locking option, otherwise they may be locked in the vehicle!
Auto-Rearm
Auto-Rearm automatically re-arms the security system if it is accidentally disarmed.
The security system will automatically re-arm and lock (if this facility has been
included with your security system) a pre-set time (the Auto-Rearm Time; usually 60
seconds), from the system being disarmed by the Radio Key, provided that no door,
bonnet or boot has been opened during the Auto-Rearm Time. Any sensors deleted
for the previous armed period will remain deleted if the system Auto-Rearms. This
feature prevents the vehicle being vulnerable if the Radio Key button is pressed by
mistake – perhaps from inside your house while your car is parked close by in the
driveway or street, or if children press the Radio Key button in play! This feature
provides extra security with no inconvenience.
Door Open, Closed Loop & Auto-Arm Warning Bleeps
The security system emits “warning bleeps” which can be turned off by your dealer if
required. The “warning bleeps” take the form of 2 bleeps whenever a door, boot or
bonnet is opened only if Auto-Arm is selected and as a series of repeated bleeps for 15
seconds after the security system is armed as a warning that either:
a)
A door, boot or bonnet is still open or ajar.
b) The optional Closed Loop Protection circuit is broken.
When the security system is armed and the repeated bleep is heard, if the security
system is not disarmed, the open door, bonnet or boot not closed or the Closed Loop
Protection circuit not completed within 15 seconds, the security system will trigger.
