Status Light; Programmable Features - Crime Guard 328i4 Operation Manual

Level #2: Vehicle Recovery activated an open door:
The Vehicle Recovery process is started by a door of the vehicle being
opened, but only if the ignition is on when the door is opened. This is
programmable feature #15.
Level #3: Vehicle Recovery activated using a remote control:
The Vehicle Recovery process is started by pressing and holding the
transmitter's Small Lower Button for 3 seconds, but only if the vehicle's
ignition is on. This is programmable feature #16.
TRANSMITTER PROTECTION
Your Crime Guard system offers the most comprehensive and advanced
security safeguards, especially in one of the most critical system components,
the remote control transmitter.
As the transmitter sends a signal over the air to operate the system, it is
quite possible for a thief to record these coded signals, for later playback to
the system to operate it and thus defeat it. Crime Guard features Random
Code Encryption, rendering such "code grabbing" devices useless by
randomly changing each signal that the transmitter sends.
Another weakness found in all remote-controlled security and keyless
entry systems lies in their capability of being operated by more than one
transmitter. Crime Guard systems have unique patented operations which,
in daily use, show the number of transmitters capable of operating it, and also
have a special warning should transmitters have been recently programmed
to operate the system.
How It Works
Automatic Transmitter Verification: Every time that the ignition key is
turned on, for 10 seconds the system's Status Light shows the total number
transmitters which can operate the system by blinking the number between
pauses.
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert: Anytime the system has a transmitter
programmed, for 48 hours thereafter the siren will emit a brief series of chirps
every time the vehicle's ignition is turned on. This audible warning alerts
you that the system has had transmitter programming activity. The 10
second visual display of number of operating transmitters, described
previously, will extend to 90 seconds in length. The warning chirps
disappear after 48 hours, and the visual display returns to lasting 10 seconds.

STATUS LIGHT

The Status Light visually indicates the operational condition of the system,
in addition to providing visual deterrence. As explained on pages 3 and 4,
the Status Light can be variously configured as to location and color, due to
the Crime Guard system's flexibility of design. Specific operations are:
Security System Status:
All of these Status Light indicators refer to the system's "alarm" operations:
• Off indicates that the alarm is disarmed, and also not in the process of Last
Door Arming or Automatic Rearming.
• On Constantly indicates that the system is in Valet Mode.
• Flashing Slow indicates that the alarm operation is fully armed.
• Flashing Fast indicates that Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming
is in progress.
Zone Violation:
Once it is armed, should the system trigger and enter an alarm condition, the
Status Light will change from flashing slowly to flashing in a coded sequence
which indicates which protected zone caused the alarm condition.
• 2 Flashes indicates that the system was triggered by the hood or trunk
being opened.
• 3 Flashes indicates that the system was triggered by a door being opened.
• 4 Flashes indicates that the system was triggered by the sensor detecting
a shock or impact above its threshold setting.
Once a Zone Violation code is set, the Status Light will continue to flash this
code while the system is still armed, after it's disarmed, and until the
vehicle's ignition is turned on. The system's Zone Violation memory can
store two consecutive zone violations. If there have been multiple violations,
the Status Light will replay the two most recent violations in the order in
which they occurred.
Number of Authorized Transmitters:
Every time the vehicle's ignition key is turned on, the Status Light will show
the number of transmitters which are capable of operating the system:
• 1 to 4 Flashes indicates the number of authorized transmitters.
This display, Automatic Transmitter Verification, lasts for 10 seconds unless
transmitters have been programmed to operate the system within the last 48
hours. In this case, the indicator changes to Unauthorized Transmitter Alert,
extending the Status Light display to last for 90 seconds, and also adds a brief
period of siren chirps when the ignition key is first turned on.
