Auto Re-arm

If a door is not opened and closed within 2 minutes of a disarming command, the doors will passively re-

lock and the alarm system re-arm.

Passive Immobilisation

In order to provide a measure of automatic vehicle security, independent of any driver initiative, the system

will automatically immobilise the engine’s cranking and fuel pump circuits after the ignition has been turned off

for 40 seconds, or a similar period has elapsed since the last mobilising command. With the ignition off, the

alarm tell tale will indicate that immobilisation is in effect by a brief flash every 1.5 seconds. With ignition on,

immobilisation is indicated by a continuously lit tell tale.

To mobilise the car (i.e. allow engine starting) with ignition on or off, press once the transmitter centre

button; the alarm tell tale will be extinguished.

Arming the Alarm/Locking the Doors

To lock the doors and arm the alarm, remove the ignition key, shut both doors, and check that the tailgate

is properly closed.

Press once the raised logo button on the transmitter key.

This command will be acknowledged by a single flash of the hazard lamps.

Both doors will be locked, and after a settling period of 40 seconds, the engine will be immobilised, and

the alarm system armed.

The alarm tell tale will flash once every 3 seconds.

The interior and mood lamps (if lit) will fade off.

Note:

If the system is armed when a door is not fully shut, three triple beeps will sound as a warning and the

doors will not be locked. Opening a door will not trigger the alarm.

ii) If the system is armed when the tailgate is not fully closed, three warning double beeps will be heard, and

the doors will not be locked. Opening a door in this instance will trigger the alarm.

When fully armed, and after the settling period of 40 seconds has expired, the alarm will be triggered by

any of the following actions:

Interruption of the car battery power supply or siren cables.

Energising the ignition circuit (‘hot wiring’).

Opening a door;

Opening the tailgate;

Movement detected within the cabin (unless de-selected).

If the alarm is triggered, the hazard warning lamps will flash and the wailing siren will sound for a period

of approximately 30 seconds before closing down and resetting, ready for any further triggering input. If a trig-

ger is continuously present (e.g. door left open), the alarm will repeat for a maximum of eight 30 second cycles

before excluding the triggering sensor for the remainder of the armed period.

To silence the siren, press once the central, disarm button on the transmitter key. If necessary, press a

second time to disarm the alarm. Note that if the vehicle battery has been disabled, it will not be possible to

interrupt the siren until completion of the sequence.

Turning Off the Interior Movement Sensor

A microwave sensor mounted behind the centre console, will detect substantial physical movement within

the cockpit, and trigger the alarm.

If an animal is to be left in the vehicle, or if for any other reason it is desired to exclude the interior move-

ment sensor, press once the transmitter logo button in the normal way to set the alarm, and then press a second

time (within 2 seconds) to exclude the interior movement sensor. A single beep will be heard as confirmation.

The sensor will automatically re-activate next time the alarm is armed.

Opening the Tailgate

To open the tailgate, press twice the end button on the transmitter key; the latch will release and allow

the tailgate to be opened, assisted by pressurised struts. Boot lamps will switch on automatically whenever

the tailgate is open.

With the ignition switched on, warning of an open or not fully latched tailgate is provided on the right hand

screen in the instrument panel via the vehicle silhouette graphic.

To close the tailgate, ensure that no persons or objects will be trapped before pulling down the panel and

pressing firmly over the latch to assure its complete engagement. Guard against inadvertently locking the

transmitter key in the boot.

Instruction Activation of Siren

If, for personal security reasons, it is desired to instructionly activate the siren at any time when the ignition

is off, hold pressed the end button on the transmitter key for 3 seconds. The wailing siren will sound, and the

hazard lamps flash for a period of 30 seconds. To stop the siren, press once any of the transmitter buttons.

Instruction siren activation will not affect the alarm system status.

Transmitter Key Battery Replacement

The transmitter fobs will normally operate within a range of 5 metres from the car, but this may be reduced

by the presence of other radio signals in the vicinity.

The transmitters are powered by a long life 3V Lithium battery, type CR2025, readily available from electri-

cal outlets, which with normal use should last for 3 years. To ensure continuity of operation, it is recommended

to renew the batteries every 12 months:

- Using a small screwdriver, prise the

transmitter fob from the key blade carrier utilis-

ing the slot provided on the back of the case.

- At the end face of the fob, prise the

retaining tang inwards whilst withdrawing the

battery carriage from the fob.

- Remove the old battery and wait for 10

seconds before inserting a new battery, with

+ve sign lowermost, and holding the battery

only by its periphery.

- Slide the battery carriage back into the

fob, pressing firmly to engage the clip, and

then clip back onto the key blade.

- The transmitter should now operate

normally.

Emergency Disarming/Mobilising

If the key transmitter is damaged or fails to function, and a spare key is not available, the alarm system’s

unique sPecific Identification Number (PIN) may be used to disarm the alarm

provided that access is avail-

able to the cabin:

Turn on the ignition. The alarm tell tale will light.

If the alarm is armed, accessing the cabin, or turning on the ignition will trigger the alarm until completion

of this emergency process.

Within 10 seconds, turn the ignition off; the tell tale will begin to flash.

After a number of flashes corresponding to the first digit of the PIN, turn on the ignition. Note that the first

flash may not be of full duration (but is still to be counted) dependent on the waveform position at time of

ignition switch off. Note that 10 flashes correspond to a zero digit.

Turn off the ignition and after a number of flashes corresponding to the second digit of the PIN, turn on

the ignition. Repeat this process until all 5 digits have been completed. If, at any stage of the process, a

number is entered incorrectly, the system will immediately revert to the start, so that the whole PIN must

be re-entered.

If the PIN is entered correctly, the alarm will now be overridden and the engine mobilised. However, auto-

matic immobilisation will still occur after an ignition off time of 40 seconds, requiring a repeat of the above

procedure to mobilise. Note that automatic re-arming of the alarm and automatic door locking cannot

occur until a working transmitter is used to operate the alarm.

Programming Additional Transmitters

Two transmitter fobs are provided with the new car. If one transmitter is lost or damaged, a replacement

should be obtained immediately, and programmed to the car alarm controller using the alarm system’s unique

sPecific Identification Number (PIN). A maximum of 6 transmitters may be programmed to the car, any thereafter

overwriting the first to have been programmed.

With the engine immobilised (tell tale flashes briefly once per second), turn on the ignition.

Enter the PIN as detailed in the emergency disarming process above, followed by the additional two digits

1, 1.

The tell tale will flash rapidly for one second, then turn off.

Within 8 seconds, press any button on the transmitter to be programmed. The tell tale will then pulse

rapidly and the siren will beep.

Within 10 seconds press any button on the next transmitter to be programmed (if applicable), and repeat

this process for all remaining transmitters.

When all transmitters have been programmed, wait for 10 seconds, or turn off the ignition.

To disable a lost or stolen transmitter from the system, use the above procedure to programme 6 trans-

mitters, if necessary repeatedly reprogramming the same transmitter if less than 6 programmed transmitters

are to be used.

Disconnecting the Car Battery

In order to prevent the alarm being triggered, before disconnecting the vehicle battery, ensure that the

alarm is disarmed.

Trigger Report Back and Feature Selection

A facility is provided to identify the source of an alarm triggering event (trigger report back), as well as

allowing certain features of the system to be selected or de-selected. The same procedure described above

to input a PIN is used, but in this case to input the programming code '123'; the tell tale will then flash rapidly

for 1 second, then remain lit. Commencing within 10 seconds, continue this procedure to input the two digits

of the feature code, after which the tell tale will flash rapidly for 1 second then beep once or twice to indicate

the new status of that feature; one for 'ON', twice for 'OFF'. Selection will alternate each time that feature code

is entered. Note that within 10 seconds, a second feature code (or repeat) may be selected from this point by

entering only the 2-digit code. To exit programme mode, simply wait for 10 seconds.

Feature Code Default 1 Beep 2 Beeps

Revert to defaults 123 00

Trigger report back 123 11 see below

Unlock with ignition 123 33 OFF ON OFF

Lock with ignition 123 34 OFF ON OFF

Selective door unlock 123 41 ON ON OFF

Audible tones* 123 61 OFF ON OFF

Lock with auto re-arm 123 87 ON ON OFF

* When selected, a single beep will sound when the alarm is armed, and a double beep when disarmed. To

silence for a single activation, press briefly the transmitter auxiliary (3rd) button prior to pressing the arm or

disarm button.

Quick Test

To facilitate testing of the alarm system, the unit can be placed into a 'Quick Test' mode by arming the

alarm with one transmitter key, and disarming with another. In this mode, the system will shorten the siren time

to 2 seconds, the immobiliser arm time to 5 seconds, and the settling time to zero. To exit this mode, simply

wait for 2 minutes without any further inputs.

Note that in Quick Test mode, any movement detected by the microwave sensor will trigger only the tell

tale and not the siren. The 2 minute timer will not be extended.

Location of Alarm Components

The alarm system components are located as follows:

Electronic Controller/Immobiliser: Mounted on the top face of the scuttle beam at passenger's extreme

end. Accessible after removal of the fascia dash panel.

Siren Unit: Mounted on the underside of the front subframe LH longeron, ahead of the lower wishbone

forward pivot. Accessible after removal of the front undertray.

Microwave sensor: Mounted behind the centre console.

Door Sensor: Switch incorporated into each door latch mechanism.

Tailgate Sensor: Incorporated into the latch mechanism.

MR.2 - CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING

The central door locking (CDL) operates on the driver’s and passenger’s doors in conjunction with the

security alarm system.

To open the doors from outside:

To unlock the doors from outside, press the central, unlock button on the transmitter key. The first press

will unlock just the driver’s door. Press a second time to unlock the passenger’s door.

When the door is opened, a fully closed window will drop slightly, preparatory to easing its subsequent

closing, and the interior and footwell will be illuminated. If the driver’s door is opened whilst the ignition is off

but the key is in position, or if the exterior lights are switched on, an audible warning will sound.

On shutting the door, the window will close automatically unless already open by request, and the footwell

illumination will be extinguished. The interior lamp will remain lit for 2 minutes, or until the ignition is switched

on.

Interior Door Lock Switch

If it is desired to lock the doors from inside the car, for example to deter highjack attempts, press the door

lock switch in the cluster inboard of the steering column, with ignition on or off. Both doors will be locked and

the switch will light up as a reminder.

Alternatively, each door can be locked individually by depressing the button at the rear end of each door

sill, but this action will not activate the lock switch illumination.

Dynamic (drive away) Locking

This selectable feature will automatically lock the doors when road speed first exceeds 10 mph (15 km/h).

The doors will remain locked until either the interior door lock switch is pressed, or each door is unlocked manu-

ally by lifting the door sill button.

To select Dynamic Locking, turn on the ignition and hold the interior door locking switch pressed for at

least 5 seconds, until a single beep is heard as confirmation. The feature will remain selected throughout

further ignition cycles until the switch is again pressed for 5 seconds and a double beep is heard, confirming

de-selection.
