Vehicle Battery Disconnection; Ignition Switch And Steering Lock; Steering Lock - Caterham Seven Owner's Handbook Manual

1) Disarm the system using an existing transponder
tag attached to the ignition key.
2) Switch the ignition on and off twice and then turn
the ignition back on, all within 7 seconds (the LED
will flash rapidly).
3) The system will then recognise the transponder
tag on the key ring and re-programme it.
4) The LED will flash once to indicate it recognises
the transponder tag.
5) Remove the ignition key with the transponder tag
attached.
6) Pass a new transponder tag close to the ignition
barrel.
7) The LED will flash twice to indicate that the new
transponder tag is in the memory.
8) Pass any additional transponder tag close to the
ignition barrel.
9) For each transponder tag programmed into the
system the LED will flash a number of times to
indicate how many
programmed into the system.
10) When you have finished, switch the ignition off
and the immobiliser will exit the programming
mode.
Each time you programme a new transponder tag
into the system it will automatically erase all other
transponder tags in the memory therefore all
transponder tags required to operate the system
must be programmed back in.
NOTE: For EU cars the transponder is in the key, if
you require a new transponder as a replacement
through loss or damage please contact your local
dealer.
Deleting lost transponder tags from the system
memory
If you lose one of your transponder tags, your
vehicle is no longer totally secure, as anyone who
finds your lost transponder tag could disarm your
immobiliser. To prevent this from happening you
are able to delete transponder tags from the
system.
Because your immobiliser system will recognise up
to five different transponder tags, you will have to
re-programme all of your existing transponder tags
every time you enter programming mode.
NOTE: The immobiliser is electronic immobiliser
and derives its main power from your car battery.
However, the consumption in the armed state is
such that it should not adversely affect your car
battery.
transponder tags are
WARNING!
The tags contain delicate electronic circuits and
must be protected from impact and water damage,
high temperatures and humidity, direct sunlight,
effects of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.

Vehicle battery disconnection

If the car battery is disconnected for any reason the
status of the security system prior to disconnection
will be memorised and automatically reset when the
battery is reconnected.

Ignition switch and steering lock

The ignition switch uses the following sequence of
key positions to operate the steering lock, electrical
circuits and starter motor:
'O' – Steering locked
With the key removed, the steering column will be
locked and most electrical circuits are non-
operational.
'I' – Steering unlocked
Turn the switch to position 'I' to unlock the steering.
'II' – Electrical circuits on
With the switch in position 'II' all electrical circuits
are operational.
'III' – Starter motor operates
Turn the switch to position 'III' to operate the starter
motor; release the key as soon as the engine starts
(the key will automatically return to position 'II').

Steering lock

To unlock the steering:
Insert the key FULLY and turn the ignition switch to
position 'I' – a small movement of the steering
wheel may be necessary to disengage the lock.
To lock the steering:
With the ignition switch turned to position 'O',
remove the key and turn the steering wheel until
the lock engages.
NOTE: Cars fitted with a quick release steering
wheel do not have a steering lock mechanism.
WARNING!
Once the steering lock is engaged it is impossible
to steer the car.
DO NOT remove the key, or turn the ignition switch
to position 'O' while the car is in motion.
