(The optional siren
, if fitted,

AUTOMATIC DUAL CIRCUIT ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
–
30 SECONDS AFTER IGNITION OFF
If the system is not manually armed by the remote control the vehicle will be automati
cally
immobilised
30 seconds after the ignition is turned off
. The dash board LED will fast flash for 30
seconds to indicate the system is in this sequence. After 30 seconds the dash board LED will slow
flash to indicate armed mode and the parking lights
will flash once. (The optional siren will chirp once)
NOTE:
As this security system is designed and certified
Standards requirements, the automatic
immobiliser cannot be programmed off.

SECURITY RE
-
ARM (& RE
-
LOCK)
The system will automatically re
-
immobil
ise after 30 seconds if it has been disarmed by remote.
Doors will also re
-
lock, if connected, if no door is opened within the 30 seconds. Opening a door will
not prevent the engine from being automatically immobilised
–
the engine must be started to preve
nt
this. For the security re
-
lock feature to operate, the system must have been initially set by the remote
control.
TRIGGER & 2 STAGE DISARM
When armed, if a door is opened or the ignition is switched on the
vehicle
lights will flash for 30
seconds (the
optional siren
, if fitted,
will sound).
If the system is being triggered, press the disarm button once to cancel the
trigger
.
Press a second time to disarm the system.
AUTOMATIC RE
-
SET
After the system has been triggered, it will automatically re
-
set t
o the armed position. If the
vehicle
lights flash 4 times upon disarming, this indicates the system has been triggered.
ARM CONDITION MEMORY
Should the vehicle battery be disconnected, the system memorises the last set position of the system.
If the syste
m was disarmed and the engine not immobilised prior to battery disconnection,
reconnection does not immobilise the vehicle until reset by the ignition being turned ON then OFF.
If the battery was disconnected whilst the system was armed, reconnection will
return the system to
the armed state and then immediately trigger.
PARK LIGHTS FLASHING
(connection to the indicators may infringe your warranty)
The park lights flash to confirm the arming and disarming of the system. They will also flash if the
system i
s triggered whilst the system is armed. The park light output is fuse protected to prevent the
module being shorted.

REMOTE ‘CODE LEARNING’
The main alarm module has
a learning capacity to memorise up to four remote controls.
If you wish to add further remotes, or a remote has to be replaced, the new remote needs to be
memorised into the main module. If for instance you have lost a remote and are fearful that s
omeone
may try to use it, the lost remote can be deleted from memory so it cannot be used.
To learn a remote or add an additional remote:

Disarm the system

Open the drivers door and leave open

Turn the ignition ON/OFF 3 times within 5 seconds (ignition re
mains off)

The park lights will flash 3 times (and if fitted, the siren will chirp 3 times) and the dashboard
LED will light permanently to confirm you have entered remote code learning mode.

Press button one on the first remote
–
lights will flash once (o
ptional siren chirps once) as
confirmation of reception

Press button one on the second remote
–
lights will flash twice (optional siren chirps twice) as
confirmation of reception

Repeat for up to four remotes
(lights flash three times for the 3
rd
remote an
d four times for the 4th)

Leave the system for 10 seconds or turn ignition ON to complete the process. This is confirmed
by 3 fast light flashes (and 3 chirps if siren connected) and LED off.
NOTE: When learning a new replacement or additional remote, the
original remote(s) must
be re
-
learnt or they will be erased from memory and will not operate this system.
To delete a lost remote from memory:
Enter learning mode as detailed above. Memorise existing remote once. The lost remote is now
deleted. When a rep
lacement is obtained, learn both the existing and new remotes into memory as
detailed above.
