Locks & Alarm
For convenience, with the alarm system armed, the luggage
compartment can be unlocked and opened USING THE KEY
without activating the alarm (the rest of the car will remain
protected and the engine immobilised during this process). The
alarm will automatically rearm as soon as the luggage compartment
is closed.
ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
Engine immobilisation is an important aspect of the car's security
system, that occurs automatically whenever the alarm is armed.
The system also includes a feature known as passive
immobilisation, whereby the engine immobilises automatically
thirty seconds after the starter switch has been turned off and the
driver's door opened and closed. Passive immobilisation is
indicated by a steady flashing of the anti-theft alarm indicator light.
The engine is re-mobilised by a signal transmitted from the handset
to the starter switch. This occurs automatically whenever the key
is inserted into the starter switch and turned to position II,
provided the handset is in close proximity to the switch.
For this reason, it is important to keep the handset on the same ring
as the starter key. If the handset has become detached, the re-
mobilisation signal can only be transmitted by pressing the handset
button.
Warning bleep
If the starter switch is turned and the engine fails to re-mobilise, a
warning beeper will sound. To re-mobilise the engine, press the
plain button on the remote handset.
If the handset is lost or damaged, use the door key to enter the
Emergency Key Access Code.
IMPORTANT
1. The engine will re mobilise itself automatically whenever the
starter switch is turned on, provided the key and handset are on
the same keyring.
2. The engine can also be re-mobilised by pressing the handset
buttons.
3. Automatic re-mobilisation will not occur if BOTH handsets are
kept on the same keyring.
