Arming The Alarm/Locking The Doors - Lotus Elise Owner's Handbook Manual

To mobilise the car (i.e. allow engine starting) with ignition on
or off, press once the transmitter centre button; the alarm tell
tale will be extinguished.

Arming the Alarm/Locking the Doors

To lock the doors and arm the alarm, remove the ignition key,
close both doors, and check that the engine lid/tailgate and body
front access panels are secure:
- Press once the raised logo button on the transmitter fob.
- This command will be acknowledged by a single flash of the
hazard lamps.
- Both doors will be locked, the engine immobilised and the
alarm system armed. A settling period of 40 seconds must
expire before the ingress sensors become active.
- The alarm tell tale will repeatedly triple flash.
Note:
i) If the system is armed when a door is not fully shut, three
triple beeps will sound as a warning and the doors will not
be locked. Opening a door will not trigger the alarm.
ii) If the system is armed when the engine lid/tailgate or a front
access panel is not fully closed, three warning double beeps
will be heard, and the doors will not be locked. Opening a
door in this instance will trigger the alarm.
iii) If one transmitter is used to disarm the alarm, and a second
transmitter to re-arm, a system test mode will be initiated, and
operational variations will occur. Allow an undisturbed period
of 2 minutes to elapse to restore normal operation.
When fully armed, and after the settling period of 40 seconds
has expired, the alarm will be triggered by any of the following
actions:
- Interruption of the car battery power supply or siren cables.
- Energising the ignition circuit ('hot wiring').
- Opening a door;
- Opening the engine lid/tailgate or a front access panel.
- Movement detected within the cabin (unless de-selected).
If the alarm is triggered, the hazard warning lamps will flash
and the wailing siren will sound for a period of approximately 30
seconds before closing down and resetting, ready for any further
triggering input. If a trigger is continuously present (e.g. door left
