Passive engine immobilisation

Passive engine immobilisation

Even if the car is not locked, the passive immobilisation feature will be enabled approximately 30 seconds after the starter switch is turned to the ‘OFF’ position and the driver's door has been opened. This state is indicated by the anti-theft alarm indicator light flashing. While the door is open, the anti-theft alarm indicator light illuminates continuously.

In this condition, the engine can be re-mobilised by pressing the LH button on the handset before operating the starter switch.

Handset battery replacement

Dependent on usage, the CR2032 type battery in the handset should last for three years. When the battery is near the end of its life, a reduction in the operating range of the handset may be noticed. To change the battery, first carefully prise open the handset casing at the key ring end, taking care not to damage the seal. Slide the battery out, without bending the clip or touching any of the contact surfaces. Press and hold each handset button for five seconds, to allow residual power to discharge.

Without touching the contact surfaces, carefully slide a new battery into the clip, ensuring that the side marked '+' faces the clip. Snap together the two halves of the handset case.

Unlock the car then operate the RH (lock symbol) button at least four times, to resynchronise the handset to the car. The handset is now ready for use.

Vehicle battery

Always disarm the alarm BEFORE the battery terminals are disconnected. Failure to do this will result in the alarm sounding as soon as the battery is reconnected.
