Alarm
The system enters into the alarm mode when one of the surveillance sensors (see previous list) detects an anomalous situation.
The alarm state is manifest by 2 types of action: one signalling via the activation of the alarm for about 28 seconds and the direction indicators for a maximum of three 4.5 minute cycles (only in countries where this is permitted by law); the other counter-measure is (cutting off the electro-stop/petrol pump) and cutting off the starter motor (the latter depending on the key being switched on).
The following emerges from the alarm situation:
- - with a transmitter command;
- - about 25 minutes after the last entry into the alarm state; if the alarm condition ceases about 25 minutes later the system returns to the surveillance state, during this period the injection, starting, etc. are blocked but there is no visual or audible signal;
- - via the emergency key (N.B. Inside the control unit the anti-theft device switched on condition remains memorized).
Inhibiting volumetric surveillance
In order to inhibit the volumetric surveillance, before switching on the system, there are two possibilities:
- with the ignition switch in the ON position quickly press (0.5 seconds) the switch on the receiver and then within a maximum time of 8 seconds turn the ignition switch to the OFF position;
- starting with the ignition switch in the ON position, carry out this manoeuvre strictly in the order given: switch OFF, switch ON and switch OFF;
- The confirmation that the volumetric surveillance has been excluded is given by the LED coming on for 2 seconds.
When switching the key on again (minimum 30 seconds) the volumetric surveillance will be re-enabled.
It will be possible to switch the key back on within 30 seconds of the last manoeuvre without re-enabling the volumetric surveillance; this function has been included, for example, to allow the electrically operated windows to be closed, if they have been left open accidentally.
PROGRAMMING
The anti-theft device must be programmed as follows:
at the end of the production line the receiver contains a "UNIVERSAL" code which operated by a "UNIVERSAL" transmitter allows the testing and moving of the vehicle in the Factory.
During the pre-delivery state the receiver must be programmed with the code for the vehicle transmitter.
The anti-theft device signalling methods may vary according to the laws in force in the different countries of registration and it may therefore be necessary to programme the system by entering the country code.
The system "recognizes" the code for remote controls without a limit on quantities, but only the last 4 remain memorized (when the 5th remote control is entered the first is expelled from the memory).
There are 2 programming methods:
- - before entering the password: SIMPLIFIED PROGRAMMING
- - after entering the password: PROTECTED PROGRAMMING.
Given the importance of following the programming procedure accurately in the correct order, it is advisable, at least initially, for two people to carry out the operations: one reading the instructions in order and the other carrying them out to the letter. All the programming operations should be carried out with the doors closed.
Each transmitter has a paper label with two codes; the 4 figure code and the Password for protection against unauthorized programming (protected programming). The label should be removed by the Customer when the vehicle is purchased and kept in a safe place.
