Identification



Identification

The part numbers and the system designation (I32/I48) can be read out under the Identification menu item.

Activating interior lights
The interior lights are not controlled directly by the door contacts. The interior lights are switched on.
- When the central locking system is unlocked with a key or via radio transmitter.
- When the doors are opened.
- When pin 86 S is switched off.

The interior lights are switched off (doors closed).
- 30 seconds after the central locking system is unlocked with a key or via radio transmitter.
- 30 seconds after the last open door has been closed with pin 15 and pin 86 S switched off.
- If both doors are closed with pin 15 and pin 86 S switched on.
- After the last open door has been closed with pin 15 and pin 86 S switched on.
- When the central locking system is actuated to Locked or Safe via hand-held transmitter or door lock barrel and with both doors closed.
- When the last door has been closed, if one door was still open when the central locking system was actuated to Locked or Safe via hand-held transmitter or door lock barrel.
The interior lights switch on and off dimmed.

Passenger compartment monitor
The function of the passenger compartment monitoring sensor can be checked under the "Passenger compartment monitor" menu item. When movement is detected in the passenger compartment, the alarm horn is activated briefly while the interior lighting and direction indicator lights go on continuously.

Tilt sensor (country version)
The external tilt sensor is active along with the Control of External Electronics output. During this time, a change in the vehicle tilt triggers an alarm. The current tilt of the vehicle is stored as a reference value during a calibration phase defined for the tilt sensor. The system has an alarm siren with a rechargeable battery supply which can emit an alarm if the vehicle battery is removed.

Power-on behaviour
After the operating voltage is switched on, the system is set to the operating state which it was in before the supply voltage was switched off.

For this purpose, all necessary operating parameters are stored in a permanent memory. If the system was disconnected from the supply in the armed state, this is entered as a fault in the status memory. The same applies if the system is disconnected from the supply voltage during an alarm output. The alarm output is continued as soon as the necessary supply voltage is available.

Activation status memory
The alarm-triggering components that are in the non-active state during alarm system activation and that are therefore blocked for alarm triggering are stored in the activation status memory. The activation type is also saved. If the vehicle is secured, e.g. by remote control, and the oddments tray is open, this is indicated by a brief horn signal from the alarm system control module. This status is stored in the activation status memory under Oddments tray activation type: - by remote control-. This function can be used in troubleshooting, in so far as a faulty micro switch or faulty wire can cause the horn signal. Reading out the activation status memory can help to track down the faulty alarm-triggering component, e.g. front lid, rear lid, oddments tray, etc.

Play prevention
If the central locking system is actuated 11 times in less than 5 seconds, further operation is blocked for 30 seconds. If the last command before play prevention activation was a command to open the central locking system, then it is possible to give a further command which is independent from play prevention to close the system. For every further time that play prevention is activated, the blocking time is doubled, up to a maximum of 240 seconds. The blocking time is cleared when a door is opened, and if play prevention is activated again, blocking time starts at 30 seconds.

System description
The following functions are integrated in the alarm system control module:
- Alarm system
- Immobilizer
- Radio receiver
- Central locking
- Comfort control
- Passenger compartment monitoring

Versions of the control module







Functions of the alarm system
- Monitoring of the outer shell of the vehicle via contact switches.
- Attempted break-ins are detected and indicated by audible and visual signals.
- The alarm horn, alarm siren (country regulations) and interior lights are activated for alarm output. The system can be enhanced by connecting additional sensors (glass breakage sensor, tilt sensor).

Functions of the central locking system
Unlike previous systems, a two-motor lock is used here.
- Locked motor
- Safe motor

The locked motor switches the central locking system from unlocked to locked and vice versa.

The safe motor switches the central locking system from locked to safe and vice versa.

The central locking system has three different locking conditions.
- Action 1. If the lock is actuated once, the so-called Safe locking - door secured function is activated. The doors can be opened only with the key, but not with the inside door handles.
- Action 2. If the door lock is actuated twice within 1 second, the vehicle is not accessible from the outside, but can be unlocked using the inside door handles.
- Emergency locking. Emergency locking is triggered by actuating the door lock three times and represents an emergency function. If the functional capability of the overall system is impaired because, for example, one door cannot be closed, it is still possible in this way to activate the other security functions. Point 1 is activated when the system is operated via the hand-held transmitter. The position of the doors is checked by limit switches in the lock.

System test
All components of the alarm system (except for terminal 15) can be checked for operation under the System test menu item. During the system test, a bar runs across the screen, and if, for example, the oddments tray is opened, an alarm is triggered. This alarm output differs from the usual alarm output in that the alarm horn is activated only for a short time. The alarm output is accompanied by interior lighting and direction indicator lights.

NOTE: The function of the passenger compartment monitoring sensor can be checked under the "Passenger compartment monitor" menu item. When movement is detected in the passenger compartment, the alarm horn is activated briefly while the interior lighting and direction indicator lights go on continuously.

Undervoltage
If the battery voltage falls below 8.5 V, an undervoltage occurs. If the battery voltage exceeds 9 V, the undervoltage is no longer present. If an undervoltage occurs, the inputs Door lock barrel open and Door lock barrel closed are evaluated as inactive irrespective of their state. It is not possible to activate the central locking system via the door lock barrel when an undervoltage occurs. The alarm system cannot be activated in the event of an undervoltage.

Load disconnection
If the vehicle is locked up, some loads are disconnected from the supply voltage in order to conserve the battery. Load deactivation is activated if at least one of the following requirements is fulfilled:
- 10 minutes after locking up the vehicle via hand-held transmitter or door lock as well as after re-locking.
- 2 hours after pin 86 S is switched off.
- 2 hours after the central locking system is unlocked via door lock or hand-held transmitter.
- 2 hours after alarm output.

Load disconnection is deactivated if at least one of the following requirements is fulfilled:
- Pin 86 S is switched on.
- Pin 15 is switched on.
- A valid transponder is detected.
- The vehicle is unlocked or locked via hand-held transmitter or door lock.
- A door is opened.
- Alarm output.

Behaviour in the case of servicing
When removing:
- vehicle battery
- alarm siren
- alarm control centre

an activated tilt sensor will trigger an alarm. In order to carry out servicing work, the alarm siren must be switched off before starting the work. To switch it off, insert the vehicle key with valid transponder into the ignition lock and rotate to actuate the buzzer contact. Components can be removed without triggering the alarm as long as the vehicle key remains inserted.

Lid release locking
Electric locking is carried out by the alarm system control module and is valid for the following country codings:
- USA
- England
- Belgium

Functioning can be checked under Tank locking in the Drive links menu item. This locks not only the tank cap but also the front and rear lid release.
