Disarming the alarm
Within range of the vehicle, briefly press the
left (PLAIN) button on the handset; the
direction indicator lights will flash once to
indicate that the alarm has been disarmed and
the engine re-mobilised.
NOTE: In some territories,the interior lights
will illuminatewhen the alarm is disarmed.
If the direction indicators fail to flash when
the alarm is armed:
This indicates that a door or the bonnet is not
fully closed, in which case the alarm will still
be partially armed and the engine
immobilised, but interior protection will not be
active.
Once the open door or bonnet is closed, the
direction indicators will flash three times and
the alarm will fully arm as described
previously.
If the alarm sounds:
The vehicle horn and alarm siren will sound
continuously for 30 seconds and then switch
off. The horn and siren can be triggered up to
three times.
To silence the alarm, press either handset
button. If the handset is inoperative, the alarm
can only be disarmed by entering the
emergency key access code (see ’Engine
immobilisation override’).
Anti-theft alarm indicator light
A RED indicator light on the instrument panel
indicates the status of the alarm system.
When the alarm is armed successfully, the
light FLASHES rapidly. After 10 seconds, the
light adjusts to a slower frequency, and
continues flashing as an anti-theft deterrent
until the alarm is disarmed.
If the light fails to illuminate during the rapid
flash phase, this indicates a ’mislock’ (door or
bonnet not fully closed or key in starter
switch). If this occurs, the indicator light will
still flash at the slower frequency as an
anti-theft deterrent.
If the light illuminates continuously, this
indicates that the engine has immobilised
passively (see ’Engine immobilisation’).
