Standard System Functions


Standard System Functions

All vehicles have the following functions as standard.
^ Locking.
^ Unlocking.
^ Fuel cut off switch unlocking.
^ Internal locking.
^ 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:
^ The driver's door is closed.
^ The ignition is off.
^ The fuel cut off switch is not tripped.
^ The bonnet is closed.
^ The vehicle is not super locked.

Depending on system configuration a mistook 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:
^ The security system is not armed.
^ 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.

Internal Locking

Internal locking allows the doors to be locked / unlocked from a central position using switches on the instrument panel. The internal unlock switch will not operate if the vehicle is super locked.

Electric Fuel Flap Release







The fuel flap is opened by pressing the button on the fascia on vehicles up to 03 model year or on the instrument pack binacle on vehicles from 03 model year. This works only if the anti-theft system is not armed and the ignition is off. In some configurations, it may also be necessary to remove the key from the ignition switch.
