Cobra 4625, 4627 - Car Alarm Quick Reference Manual

ARMING AND DISARMING

WITH THE VEHICLE ORIGINAL REMOTE CONTROL OR WITH THE COBRA REMOTE CONTROL (optional)

To arm the system press the door locking pushbutton of the vehicle original remote control or the "A" pushbutton of the Cobra remote control.

The arming status is confirmed by:

• vehicle doors locking (only mod. 4627, with the Cobra remote only if the CDL connections have been made);
• audible signals (if activated);
• flashes of the direction lights;
• LED of the emergency panel illuminated.

The protection features of the system become active after a 25 s arming period has elapsed (when the LED of the emergency panel starts blinking).
To disarm the system press the door unlocking pushbutton of the vehicle original remote control or the "B" pushbutton of the Cobra remote control.

The disarming status is confirmed by:

• vehicle doors unlocking (only mod. 4627, with the Cobra remote only if the CDL connections have been made);
• audible signals (if activated);
• flashes of the direction lights;
• LED of the emergency panel OFF.

Note: if also the Driver Card (optional) is provided it will be also possible to arm and disarm the system by pressing its pushbutton.

The system is delivered with a set of standard functionalities (active functions). The installer is able to activate some more functionalities (programmable functions) with an impact on the security and comfort the system will offer. The following are the lists of the two groups.

ACTIVE FUNCTIONS

Interior protection with ultrasonic volumetric sensor

The system protects the vehicle interior with a volumetric ultrasonic sensor. Any attempt to get into the vehicle will be detected and the alarm will trigger.

Perimetric protection with door open warning diagnostic

The alarm will trigger by opening any door, boot and bonnet. Should you have left any door opened while arming, the system will signal it by 3 fl ashes of the direction lights and 3 audible signals (5 audible signals if the arming/disarming audible signals function has been activated).

Cable cutting protection (only for systems with back-up batteri siren)

The alarm will trigger if the system is not power supplied (cutting of cables - battery disconnection) signaling the sabotage.

Engine starting inhibition

As soon as the system is armed the engine starting is not be possible anymore.

Arming the system with the volumetric ultrasonic protection disabled

This function allows to arm the system leaving temporarily disconnected the interior volumetric protection. The protection must be disabled any time you leave somebody or an animal in the vehicle. Also if you want to leave any window opened please disable the protection to avoid false alarms. All other protections remain active.

To disable the volumetric protection proceed as follow:
switch the engine off being sure that the ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position. Within 5 s press the emergency panel pushbutton and keep it pressed until it will fl ash once to confi rm that the volumetric protection only has been disabled. By keeping the pushbutton pressed the system will confi rm with two fl ashes that the additional sensor input only has been disabled, with three fl ashes for both of them disabled. The selected protection will remain disabled until the system will be disarmed. It will be automatically restored at the next arming.

Note: on some vehicles the system automatically disables the volumetric protection if any windows is left opened.
Ask your installer if this functionality is provided by the system fi tted on your vehicle.

Emergency panel LED

The LED main scope is to show the system arming and disarming conditions. When the system is armed the LED gets ON and remains illuminated until the 25 s arming period has elapsed. After that it starts blinking. It goes OFF as soon as the system is disarmed.

Alarms memory

If the system has gone off (alarm on) during the arming time it will warn you with 3 fl ashes of the direction lights and 3 audible signals (5 audible signals if the arming/disarming audible signals function has been activated). It also stores in its memory the reason of the occurred alarm and shows it on the emergency panel LED. Count the number of fl ashes and check the corresponding alarm reason on the table. By turning the key ON the memory will be deleted.

Emergency disarming

If the vehicle original remote control get lost or if it doesn't work, open the door with the mechanical key and turn the ignition key ON. If the system doesn't disarm automatically follow the emergency procedure described in chapter 4.

Direction lights alarm flashes

When the system goes off (alarm ON) the siren sounds and the direction lights fl ash for 28 s.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

Activation and volume adjusting of the audible arming and disarming signaling

This function allows to activate a short audible signal to confi rm the system's arming and disarming.

Passive arming

The system will automatically arm after 30 s the ignition key has been switched off and the driver side door has been opened and closed, so 30 s after the driver has left the vehicle.

Auto re-arming

The system will automatically re-arm if, after 115 s, it has been disarmed and no one door has been opened (nobody gets on the vehicle).

Only for mod. 4627, auto re-arming with doors locking

As for auto re-arming, but doors will lock (if the CDL connections have been made).

Passive engine starting inhibition

The starting inhibition becomes active after 115 s the vehicle has been switched OFF. The starting inhibition is immediately deactivated if the Driver Card (optional) is detected, or when a correct emergency PIN Code has been digit on the emergency panel. This functionality is totally independent from the other ones.

Only for mod. 4627, comfort window closing with Cobra remote control (Cobra remote control optional)

- This is a native function of the vehicle, so at fi rst check if it is available. If not you can ask your installer to fi t an additional window closing module. By keeping pressed the Cobra remote control pushbutton "A" you can close the windows from a distance.

for safety reasons we recommend to close the windows remaining close to the vehicle.

Anti hi-jacking

This function helps to prevent the vehicle hi-jack while driving, taking care also to the safety of the driver. If the driver isn't recognized, the system will consider him as an unauthorized person to drive the vehicle; it will generate an alert sequence and it will not allow the engine starting after it has been switched off.

During the normal usage of the vehicle the driver is recognized by the system in two ways:

• manual (without Driver Card): by entering the fi rst two Pin Code digits on the emergency panel.
  The driver must be recognized by the system every time the ignition key is switched on or when, with the ignition key on, the driver opens and closes the driver side door to get off. If the recognition doesn't happen within 60 s the LED of the system starts to fl ash quickly, reporting the failed recognition for further 30 s. When this time is expired, the system generates an alert sequence also if the engine is running. The engine cranking inhibition becomes active with the ignition key off, making impossible the engine running. To exit the anti hi-jack function, enter the four digits of the Pin Code.
• automatic (with Driver Card).
  The driver must be recognized by the system when it detects the Driver Card. If the recognition doesn't happen within 60 s the LED of the system starts to fl ash quickly, reporting the failed recognition for further 30 s. When this time is expired, the system generates an alert sequence also if the engine is running. The engine cranking inhibition becomes active with the ignition key off, making impossible the engine running. To exit the anti hi-jack function, the system must recognize the Driver Card. If the Driver Card is switched off, press the push-button of the Driver Card to be recognized.

to temporarily deactivate the anti hi-jack function (Driver Card broken or with fl at battery), type the four digits of the Pin Code. The function will become active again by opening and closing the driver's door when the ignition key is on or by turning the ignition key ON and OFF.

Note: the function is as standard disabled in compliance with the European regulation. Its activation voids the CE homologation. It can be used only in the extra-European countries, if the functionality is not in confl ict with the local rules.

Garage mode

This function allows to temporarily disable all protection automatic functionalities of the system. It can be used, as an example, when you need to leave the vehicle at a workshop for maintenance to avoid the automatic activation of any functionality. When the garage function is active the driver is allowed to turn the ignition key on for 10 times (engine running). After 10 times the system restore all automatic functionalities.

Activation

• Open driver side door.
• Turn the ignition key ON.
• Enter the complete emergency PIN Code (4 digits) on the emergency panel pushbutton.
• A flash of the direction lights confi rms the activation.

Deactivation

• Lock then unlock the vehicle with the original remote control.
• A fl ash of the direction lights and an audible signal confi rm the deactivation.

EMERGENCY OVERRIDE WITH PIN CODE

If the vehicle original remote control get lost or if it doesn't work, open the door with the mechanical key and turn the ignition key ON. If the system doesn't disarm automatically proceed as follow:

press the emergency panel pushbutton for a number of times corresponding to the fi rst digit of the PIN Code. Each pushbutton pressure is confirmed by a quick fl ash of the LED. Make a longer pause to let the system understand that you've fi nished to enter the fi rst digit, a longer fl ashing of the LED will confi rm it. Do the same for the remaining digits, as soon as all four digits will be entered the system will disarm.
