Anti-Theft - Active



Anti-Theft - Active







The anti-theft system provides protection from unauthorized entry into the vehicle. The security system functions are controlled by the rear electronic module (REM), driver door module (DDM), front electronic module (FEM), and the instrument cluster (IC). When the alarm is triggered the system flashes the directional indicators, or turns on the front and rear lamps or flashes the front and rear lamps or a combination of front and rear lamps with directional indicators and can also sound the alarm system horns, siren or a combination of both, all are Market dependant.

The base perimeter alarm consists of four doors, hood and luggage compartment ajar switches, radio sense, key sense, vehicle horn and separate anti-theft alarm horn (rest of the world (ROW)) or anti-theft alarm horn (battery backed - UK, Holland, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Israel, Ireland and Malta), visual feedback from direction indicators on arm, disarm, alarm and error states (note visual feedback for error states is only a dealer programmable feature - standard configuration is an audible error state indicator enabled, and full alarm activation can also be from front and rear lamps), security light emitting diode (LED) located in the instrument panel. Audible feedback is provided for error state, full alarm, arming, disarming and double locking - all of these above feedbacks are market dependant. Higher levels of alarm can be added for specific market requirements - ultrasonic scanning sensors located in the overhead console, inclination sensor (Dealer fit option only) located in the luggage compartment, anti-theft alarm horn (battery backed) located in the right hand side rear wheel arch near to the fuel filler neck.

Security System Arming

The system will be activated by the keyless entry remote transmitter when the following input sequence is followed:
1. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
2. Close all the doors (unlocked).
3. Press the LOCK button on the transmitter to lock the doors. The directional indicators will flash once plus in some markets an audible warning will also be emitted.
4. Press the LOCK button twice the vehicle will double lock (if enabled). The directional indicators will provide a longer flash plus an audible warning is emitted to indicate double locking action has occurred. In USA, Canada, Mexico and Dominican Republic a second press audible warning can be enabled, therefore if you press the four button transmitter lock button twice, then an audible warning will be emitted.
5. If the directional indicators do not flash, the system is not activated. (If a door is open, luggage compartment and hood is ajar or a key is in the ignition, the remote lock function will be inhibited and two audible error sounds will be emitted, however the dealer has the option to enable the direction indicators, which will flash five times).

The system will also be activated when the following input sequence is followed:
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the ignition key.
7. Close all the doors (unlocked).
8. Lock all the doors via the driver door key barrel with the ignition key, direction indicators will flash once. To double lock, activate the drivers door key barrel to the unlock then lock position within three seconds with the ignition key. The vehicle will double lock (if enabled). The directional indicators will provide a longer flash plus an audible warning is emitted to indicate that double locking action has occurred.
9. If the directional indicators do not flash, the system is not activated.
10. If two consecutive audible sounds with a 200ms pause period between them is emitted, then either a door, luggage compartment or hood is open or the ignition key is in the ignition barrel. Dealer option is, if the directional indicators flash five times either the door, hood or luggage compartment lid is open or the ignition key is in the ignition barrel.

Opening any of the doors, luggage compartment or hood will activate full alarm immediately in Europe and in North America there will be a seven second audible warning followed by activating full alarm immediately, providing the alarm has been activated.

11. Unlock the drivers door with a key (USA, Canada, Mexico, Dominican republic, ROW). The directional indicators will flash twice and two audible disarm warnings will be emitted (warnings are market dependant). If however a fault exists on the intrusion sensor or inclination sensor, then the system will disarm in one of a number of ways, depending upon the market configuration:
- USA, Canada, Mexico, Dominican republic, ROW only, the disarm warnings are:
- EURO with error options are:

12. Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry remote transmitter. The directional indicators will flash twice and two audible disarm warnings will be emitted (warnings are market dependant).

Once the system has been triggered, the horns, siren or a combination of both (market dependant) and directional indicators (or turn on the front and rear lamps or flash the front and rear lamps or a combination of front and rear lamp with directional indicators, these are market dependant) will shut off automatically after 30 seconds (60 seconds USA, Canada, Mexico, Dominican republic, Korean).
