Remote Control, Audio - Stereo

The basic model of the theft alarm can be operated (armed/disarmed) using the remote control and the car key. Arming/disarming using the car key can be deprogrammed in markets where this is necessary.

There is an antenna mounted next to or inside the rear-view mirror in the car for remote control. This is connected to the control module (pin 1 signal, pin 14 ground). Point the remote control towards the antenna. The range is normally about 8 m but can be much further in favorable conditions. To meet legal requirements, the remote control for JA is equipped with a weaker transmitter to achieve a shorter range. The remote control is of the RF (Radio Frequency) type.

The remote control transmits a 64 bit code. This is compared with a list of valid codes (max 4) in the control module. If the code is valid, the control module acts on the command.

There are two buttons on the remote control for remote control of the alarm:
- Button (left-hand) used to lock/unlock and arm/ disarm the theft alarm.
- Button (right-hand) used to unlock the tailgate and to disarm the tailgate if the alarm is armed.

Changing the battery
The remote control is powered by two batteries which should last for about 2 years of normal use. The batteries should be changed when the range of the remote control gets shorter.
For safety reasons, it is recommended that the batteries are changed every year.


Important : After the batteries have been changed, the left-hand button on the remote control must be pressed five times in a row.


New remote control
If the remote control has been lost and a new one is to be used, it must first be programmed (encrypted) with the theft alarm before it is used.






Arming the theft alarm
1 When arming using the remote control, press the left-hand button. When the button is pressed, a light confirmation is given by the car's direction indicators flashing once. The flasher/sound confirmation for this function is programmable.
2 The car's theft alarm is then armed and all doors are locked by the central locking system which has received a signal from the alarm control module (pin 17). The tailgate is also armed if it is closed.
3 When the alarm is armed, the LED lights continuously for 10 seconds. During this so-called delay period, the alarm is not armed and the passenger doors (not the driver door), the tail-gate or the hood can be open without the alarm being set off. After the delay period, the LED goes over to flashing 1 flash/2 seconds which shows that the alarm is armed.
4 If the driver door is opened during the delay period, the alarm is automatically disarmed. If the driver door is open or if the ignition is on, it is not possible to lock/unlock the car and arm/disarm the alarm using the remote control.

Disarming the theft alarm
1 To disarm using the remote control, press the left-hand button. When this button is pressed, a light confirmation is given by the car's direction indicators flashing three times (if the alarm has been set off while it was armed, the direction indicators flash five times). The flash/sound confirmation of this function is programmable.
2 The car's theft alarm is then disarmed and all doors (except the tailgate) are unlocked by the central locking system which receives the unlock signal from the alarm control module (pin 6).
3 When the alarm is disarmed, the LED lights for 1 second and then goes out.







Disarming/unlocking the tailgate
1 Disarming and unlocking the tailgate independently is achieved by pressing the right-hand button on the remote control. The rest of the alarm is not affected. The flash/sound confirmation for this function is programmable.
2 If the alarm was armed, the tailgate is then excepted from the alarm. If the rest of the alarm is armed and the disarming/unlocking takes place after the delay period, the LED flashes 1 flash/2 seconds. The tailgate is unlocked with a signal from the control module (pin 23).
3 When the tailgate is closed, a new delay period for the tailgate starts (10 seconds). It is then once again alarmed if the rest of the alarm was armed.


Important : It is not possible to open the tailgate using the remote control if the ignition is on. On the other hand, this can be achieved with special programming.
