Configurable system functions (Alarm system and horn) (page 3 of 7)

The volumetric alarm can be disarmed by unlocking the driver's door with the key or the handset, depending on system configuration.

NOTE: The “only disarm with key if locked with key” configuration prevents the alarm from being disarmed by unlocking the vehicle with the handset if the vehicle has been locked by the key. In this situation the EKA code must be entered to disarm the alarm.

In order for the alarm to trigger, the following conditions must be met: l Volumetric alarm armed. l Volumetric sensors triggered.

Once triggered, the alarm will remain triggered for 30 seconds before resetting.

Super locking Super locking prevents the use of the interior door handles to unlock and open the vehicle doors. This prevents the doors from being opened if the window be smashed in an attempt to gain access to the vehicle.

There are four configurations for super locking: l No super locking. l Super locking on single handset press only (no key activated super locking). l Super locking on single handset press or single key turn. l Super locking on double handset press or double key turn.

To super lock, press the lock button on the handset once or twice within one second depending on system configuration. In some configurations, it is also possible to super lock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door. This also may require one or two turns of the key in the lock direction. If two turns of the key are required to activate super locking, the two turns must occur within one second of each other.

In order to super lock the vehicle, the following conditions must be met: l All door are closed. l The ignition is off. l The fuel cut-off switch is not tripped.

Partial arming Partial arming allows protection of as much of the vehicle as possible if the alarm is armed with one or more doors or the bonnet open.

Partial arming allows the vehicle alarm to be armed even if the following conditions exist. When the bonnet or door is closed, the BCU activates the perimetric alarm and the volumetric alarm after 15 seconds have elapsed: l The bonnet is not closed: If the bonnet is open when the alarm is armed, the BCU activates super locking and volumetric sensing. In this condition, the alarm enters a partially armed state. All other functions of the alarm are active and the BCU monitors the bonnet for a change of state. If the bonnet closes, the system is completely armed. l The passenger door, a rear door or the tail door is not closed: If a door is open when the alarm is armed, the BCU does not activate super locking or volumetric sensing. In this condition the alarm enters a partially armed state. All other alarm functions are armed and the BCU monitors the open door. If the door closes volumetric sensing and super locking become active. l Failure of a door latch switch: If a short circuit in the door latch switch occurs, the BCU presumes the door is not closed. In this situation the BCU does not activate super locking or volumetric sensing. All other alarm functions are armed. l Damaged wiring harness: If a short circuit in the wiring harness for the door latch switch occurs, the BCU presumes the door is not closed and does not activate super locking or volumetric sensing; all other alarm functions are armed. If an open circuit in the wiring harness for the door latch switch occurs, the BCU presumes the door is closed and arms the alarm as normal.
