Locks & Alarm

Superlocking
For safety, NEVER use Superlocking if passengers are to
remain inside the car - in an emergency they would not be able
to escape. Also, on cars fitted with interior space protection, any
movement from inside the car would activate the alarm.
Provided all the doors are fully closed, the superlocking feature is
activated automatically whenever the car is locked using the
remote handset. Superlocking immobilises the interior door
handles, thereby preventing an intruder from gaining entry by
smashing a window and reaching inside the car to operate the door
handles.
Mislock
If the driver's door is not fully closed when the handset lock button
is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once,
indicating a mislock. In this case, none of the doors will lock and
the alarm system will not be armed.
If a passenger door, bonnet or the luggage compartment is not fully
closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder
or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock. However,
the ‘partial arming’ attributes of the security system will enable as
much of the system to be armed as possible (all fully closed door,
bonnet or luggage compartment apertures will be protected, but
an open door will not!). As soon as the open aperture is closed, the
system will automatically revert to an armed state.
NOTE: If a mislock occurs as a result of an open door, the superlocking
and interior space protection features will not be activated, until the door is
closed and the locking process is repeated.
Anti-theft alarm indicator light
The light provides information about the status of the alarm
system, as follows:
• When the alarm is armed:
The light flashes RAPIDLY while the alarm is arming itself.
After ten seconds, the light adjusts to a slower frequency and
continues to flash as an anti-theft deterrent until the alarm is
disarmed.
• When the alarm is partially armed: (mislock)
The light flashes SLOWLY for 10 seconds, then flashes as an
anti-theft deterrent (as above) until the alarm is disarmed.
• When the alarm has been triggered:
If the light flashes after the car is unlocked, this indicates that
the alarm has been triggered during the driver’s absence. The
light will flash for up to one minute or until the starter switch
is turned on.
If the alarm sounds
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will
sound for 30 seconds before switching off and resetting itself to the
same protection status that existed prior to the alarm being
triggered.To silence the alarm, press either button on the remote
handset, or lock/unlock the door using the key.
