EMERGENCY KEY SWITCH
The emergency circuit key switch allows the
alarm system to be excluded, if necessary.
It is located on the side under the dashboard and
is only accessible after removing the bottom left
trim from the dashboard (see figure).
The emergency key switch can assume t w o posi­
tions, namely:
OFF (key fully rotated in the anti-clockwise
direction), corresponding to deactivation
of the alarm circuit
ON (key fully rotated in the clockwise direc­
tion), corresponding to activation of the
supply to the alarm system.
P4A16AL01
From January 1998, the alarm systems on cars intended for the United Kingdom market market no
longer have the emergency key switch, so the control unit is permanently in the activated state.
OPERATION
Switching off the alarm
If the remote control's batteries become discharged or the alarm system is faulty, it can be deactivated by
turning the emergency key switch to the OFF position.
This key should be rotated to the OFF position if the car is to be left unused for long periods (over three
weeks).
To reactivate the system, turn the emergency key switch ON again and check that it is in this position be­
fore delivery of the car to the customer.
For cars intended for the British market which have no emergency key switch, in the above-mentioned
case in which the remote control's batteries are discharged and the alarm cannot be turned off, wait for
the latter to be deactivated (i.e. after the cycles of siren coming on and direction indicators flashing).
As regards "Switching alarm on I off", "Surveillance", "Alarm state", "Switching on with siren
excluded" and "Discharged batteries indicator", refer to pages 734/ 7 and 734/2 of the previ­
ous Section 55.
PROGRAMMING
The methods of indicating the alarm may vary depending on the laws in force in the country of registra­
tion; it is therefore necessary to programme the system by entering the "country code", as described on
the next page.
The system "recognizes" the code of the remote controls w i t h no limit as to quantity, but only the last 8
remain stored in memory (when the ninth remote control is entered, the first is deleted from memory).
There are t w o programming methods (see the description on the following pages):
- before entering the access code (password): S I M P L I F I E D PROGRAMMING
- after closing the memory: PROTECTED PROGRAMMING
In view of the importance of carrying out the programming procedure quickly and precisely, it is
advisable, at least initially, for two people to carry out the operation: one to read the instructions
in sequence and the other to carry them out closely.
