Remote control

The theft alarm is operated (armed/disarmed) using a remote control.

For remote control of the theft alarm, there is an antenna fitted in the cable assembly next to the alarm control module under the left-hand front seat. This is connected to the control module (pin 1 for signal and pin 14 for ground). Point the remote control at the antenna. The range is normally about 8 meters, but can be significantly further in the favorable conditions. Due to legal requirements, the remote control for JA is equipped with a weaker transmitter for 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 and with normal use, the batteries should last for about two years. Change the batteries when the range of the remote control drops. 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, press the left- hand button on the remote control. When the button is pressed, a light confirmation is given by the car's direction indicators flashing once. The flash/light 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 passenger doors (not the driver door), tailgate or hood may be open without the alarm being set off. After the delay period, the LED goes from a continuous light to flashing once every two seconds to indicate 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. When disarming, press the left- hand button on the remote control. When the button is pressed, a light confirmation is given by the car's direction indicators flashing three times (if the alarm has been set off during the time it was armed, it flashes 5 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.

Important

It is not possible to arm/disarm the alarm with the key.



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 arming is not affected. Flash/sound confirmation of this function is programmable.

2. If the alarm was armed, the tailgate is now removed from the alarm. The LED flashes 1 flash/2 seconds if the rest of the alarm is armed and disarming/unlocking takes place after the delay period. 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.

It is not possible to disarm the tailgate using the key. If the tailgate is opened with the key when the alarm is armed, it will be set off.
