Alarm system and horn (Operation): Description and operation

Operation

Standard system functions

All vehicles have the following functions as standard. l Locking. l Unlocking. l Fuel cut off switch unlocking. l Internal locking. l Electric fuel flap release.

Locking The doors are locked by pressing the lock button on the handset or by locking the vehicle from the driver's door with the key.

In order to lock the vehicle, the following conditions must be met: l The driver's door is closed. l The ignition is off. l The fuel cut off switch is not tripped. l The bonnet is closed. l The vehicle is not super locked.

Depending on system configuration a mislock occurs if these conditions are not met. The doors may lock (depending on condition not met) and the system may not fully arm, depending on configuration of the system. If a mislock occurs an audible warning is emitted and the vehicle becomes partially armed.

Unlocking The doors are unlocked by pressing the unlock button on the handset or by unlocking the vehicle from the driver's door with the key. This may unlock only the driver's door or it may unlock all doors depending on system configuration.

Fuel cut off switch unlocking

In the event that the vehicle experiences a force strong enough to actuate the switch, all the doors on the vehicle immediately unlock. The following conditions must be met for this to occur: l The security system is not armed. l The ignition is on.

This same action causes the fuel pump to shut off and disables the Engine Control Module (ECM). In some markets, this action may also cause the direction indicators lights to flash.
