VEHICLE LOCKING & SECURITY

Security systems.
The Anti Theft Systems fitted to the vehicle are
designed to minimise the risk of unauthorised
operation without using a correctly coded
remote key or ignition key. On all models the
remote key operates the central door locking
system. Each ignition key contains a
transponder which the security system
recognises.
An alarm upgrade system, fitted to some
models, provides perimeter protection of the
vehicle by switches covering the doors, bonnet
and boot, and interior ultrasonic detection of
movement in the driver’s compartment. When
this system is armed, if someone breaks into the
vehicle, opens the bonnet, boot or a door, the
hazard warning lights will flash and an alarm will
sound at full power for 30 seconds and then
stop, re-arming itself against any further
intrusion. However, the engine immobiliser will
continue to prevent the vehicle from being
driven away.
How to turn off ultrasonic detection
If required, the ultrasonic sensors may be
temporarily switched off - press lock button 4
times within 30 seconds, they will be re-enabled
next time alarm is set.
Remote key fobs
The battery operated, remote key fob emits a
coded radio signal which operates the security
and locking system when the key buttons are
pressed while adjacent to the vehicle. Whilst the
key buttons are pressed a small light (A) in the
key will illuminate to confirm the remote key is
operating.
Note: Avoid inadvertent and repeated pressing
of the remote key buttons, as ultimately this
could stop the security system responding
without being reprogrammed.
Keep remote keys clean and dry (shake off any
water which does get onto a key before
operating it), and never expose the keys to a
temperature exceeding 60°C (140°F).
Do not suspend or swing about your key ring
from the remote key fob. Take care not to trap,
crush or squash the remote key fob. Keep it dry
and do not immerse in liquid of any sort. Any
damage caused in this way may not be covered
by warranty.
If the battery in the remote key fob becomes
discharged the small light (A) will flash when the
key buttons are pressed. When this happens,
replace the battery in the remote key
(see page 7) before the battery becomes
fully discharged.
Remote key replacement
A maximum of four remote keys can be
programmed to operate the vehicle security
system. When a new or replacement remote key
is required it will be necessary for your dealer to
reprogramme all the remote keys at the same
time.
