Upgraded Vehicle Security Alarm - Cobra Goldline 6019HF
The optional upgraded vehicle alarm includes the following security features:
Ingress protection using sensing switches on the front bonnet, engine lid and both doors;
Switchable intrusion sensing in the passenger compartment using a microwave sensor;
Self powered siren for strident warning even if the vehicle battery supply is interrupted;
Passive engine immobilisation after 60 second delay.
Dynamic (changing) coding of the transmitter key to minimise the possibility of code copying.
Passive Immobilisation: Engine cranking and running are disabled automatically 60 seconds after either:
the ignition is turned off;
the alarm is disarmed.
A warning that immobilisation is in effect, is provided by the 'Alarm' tell tale in the instrument pack lighting
steady.
In order to mobilise the engine, press once the embossed red transmitter button (with the ignition key in
any position); the alarm tell tale will switch from steady to flashing illumination, and the engine may be started.
If, however, the ignition is not switched on within 60 seconds, passive immobilisation will again be activated.
To Arm the Alarm: Remove the ignition key, close the front bonnet and engine lid, and close (and lock) both
doors. The roof may be either raised or stowed. Press once the embossed red transmitter button. This
command will be acknowledged by:
two flashes of the hazard lamps accompanied by two short buzzes;
the alarm tell tale on steady.
The engine will be immobilised immediately on the arming command, but other alarm functions require
an arming period of about 30 seconds before becoming fully active. If the alarm is armed whilst a door, bonnet
or engine lid is open or ajar, the warning buzzer will sound continuously before, after a period of 40 seconds,
the siren is sounded.
When the alarm is fully armed, triggering will occur if:
a door, bonnet or engine lid is opened;
movement within the passenger compartment is detected;
When triggered, the self powered electronic siren will sound and the hazard warning lamps flash. After 30
seconds, these functions will switch off and automatically reset, ready for any further triggering input. If the
