ANTI-THEFT DEVICE

OPERATION

ENABLING/DISABLING

It is only possible to enable the alarm when the ignition key is in the STOP position.

ENABLING is possible by pressing the button on the transmitter

DISABLING is obtained by pressing the same button once again.

To obtain the most efficient switching, press the button until a visual and acoustic signal are noted (feed-back).

N.B. The system is protected against unauthorised recording of the secret code.

Enabling

Press the button whilst pointing the transmitter towards the receiver dome. Acoustic and optical signals will be noted (for the markets/versions foreseen).

Disabling

Press the button pointing the transmitter towards the receiver dome. Also for disabling acoustic and optical signals will be noted (for the markets/versions foreseen)

COMPLETE DEACTIVATION OF THE SYSTEM

If the batteries of the transmitter are flat or the system is not working properly, the alarm system can be deactivated using the emergency key on the control unit. When the car is delivered this emergency key must be in the "ON" position. Turning the key to "OFF" the system is deactivated completely. In the specific version for some markets, only the batteries inside the control unit/siren are

deactivated, leaving the alarm system activated as it is still supplied by the car battery.

With the key at "OFF" the surveillance of the cable cutting/battery disconnection is no longer activated.

Set this key to "OFF" and disconnect the battery cable if the vehicle is left unused for long periods (over 1 month).

"SURVEILLANCE" MODE

During the "surveillance" mode (car closed and alarm activated) the dissuasion led flashes at 0.8 Hz, in this conditions, the system;

• checks the doors, bonnet and tailgate;
• checks that the battery is connected and that the leads are intact;
• checks that the ignition key is not being tampered with;
• checks movements inside the passenger compartment (volumetric sensors);
• cuts off the supply to the starter motor (provided that the key is turned to MARCIA)and deactivates the engine electronic control unit.

ALARM MODE

The system enters the alarm mode when one of the surveillance sensors detects an abnormal situation.

The alarm mode can trigger a warning system to the outside (activation of the siren and blinkers, with times varying according to the versions/markets). There are other countermeasures such as: cutting off the engine supply (Motronic control unit supply) and starter motor supply cut off.

The alarm ceases:

• with a command from the transmitter (deactivation);
• 25 min. after the last activation of the alarm mode;
• by turning the emergency key. (N.B.: in this case the alarm activated condition is stored in the control unit memory).

SELF-DIAGNOSIS

UPON ACTIVATION the system carries out self-diagnosis (indicated by the flashing of the LED at 4 Hz). If a fault is found, the LED will identify it through a special flashing code as shown in table 1.

When a door or bonnet/tailgate is found to be open/faulty or when a fault is detected on the volumetric sensors, the corresponding sensor is cut off by the surveillance mode and a beep signal is given one second after they are reactivated.

WHEN THE ALARM IS DISABLED the dissuasion LED flashes to indicate which of the sensors triggered an alarm during surveillance (see table 2)

N.B.: the signal is cancelled turning the ignition key to MARCIA
