Engine Immobiliser

In order to provide a measure of car security, independent
of any driver action, the system will 'passively' immobilise the
engine's cranking and running circuits after the first occurring
of the following:
i) Four minutes after switching off the ignition;
ii) Two minutes after a mobilising command (see below); or
iii) One minute after switching off the ignition and opening the
driver's door.
The immobilised state is indicated by the security tell tale in
the tachometer upper face flashing continuously.
To mobilise the engine, press once, and for a full second, the
larger of the two buttons on the transmitter fob. The security tell
tale will be extinguished.

Valet Mode

If leaving the car for servicing or parking, the passive immobil-
isation feature may be switched off by switching on the ignition
and pressing the transmitter small button. Two beeps will confirm
'valet' activation, repeated as a reminder when the ignition is
switched off. The security tell tale will remain off.
At the next arming command, the valet mode will be switched
off, and normal immobilisation resume.
