Using the Ignition PIN Procedure
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
In the following sections describing the operation of the Ignition PIN Procedure,
reference to a PIN code will be made. The PIN code for your security system will
have been issued to you on two self-adhesive labels which must be kept in a safe
place. This PIN code is unique to your security system and acts as an emergency
override when entered during the Ignition PIN Procedure and/or into the optional
keypad. You can change the PIN code printed on the issued labels, to one of your
own choice that you can easily remember, however, failure to recall your PIN code
could increase the cost of replacing or adding further Radio Keys and will prevent
you and your installing dealer from overriding the security system in the unlikely
event of Radio Key failure. If you do not know, or have forgotten your PIN code then
your installing dealer can reset this for you, provided that the security system is not
armed. The system’s PIN can only be changed using the keypad.
Disarming the Security System
If the Radio Key fails to operate the security system, due to a depleted battery in the
Radio Key for example or its total loss/damage, the security system can be disarmed
using the Ignition PIN Procedure (alternatively the optional Keypad and Touch Key
can also be used as an override, if supplied with your system. See pages 21 & 20
respectively).
To disarm the security system using the Ignition PIN Procedure:
•
Unlock the driver’s door with the vehicle’s key and enter the vehicle (the siren
will sound).
•
Cycle the ignition 3 times in 7 seconds i.e. off to on, off to on, off to on (the siren
will sound, if not already doing so).
•
The LED will now display solid green for 3 seconds, before proceeding to flash
red. If the first digit of the security system’s PIN is 0, then the ignition must to
turned off whist the LED is still green. Otherwise, allow the green LED to
extinguish and then count the red flashes and turn the ignition off
immediately after the corresponding flash i.e. If the first digit is 3, turn the
ignition off after the 3rd red flash.
•
With the first digit selected turn the ignition back on. The LED will display solid
green again for 3 seconds, before proceeding to flash red. Select the 2nd, 3rd
and 4th digits in the same manner as the first.
•
When the ignition is turned off to select the 4th digit, the security system will
either:
a) Disarm in the normal way if the PIN code is correct.
If the security system incorporates a self-setting immobiliser (S30 models only) start
the vehicle within 30 seconds. If the Key Theft Protection feature is selected, the
PIN must be entered again, in the same way, now to unset the immobiliser.
b) Remain armed if the PIN code is incorrect.
The security system only allows 3 attempts to enter the correct PIN code.
Note:
IF a 3rd incorrect PIN code is entered, the security system will ignore all
further PIN code entries, whether by Ignition Procedure or Keypad, for 3 minutes.
This “PIN lockout” is a security feature.
