If the bonnet or boot is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the problem by sounding 4 chirps and 4 indicator light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (This door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that have factory-delayed courtesy lights). If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp muting feature. Specific malfunction identification The system can also indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you get the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon arming, perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger or sensor: 1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat. 2. Count the number of flashes in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the flash cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below: LED flashes Meaning 1 flash Activation of Proximity Sensor 2 flashes Activation of optional vibration/impact or tilt/motion sensor 4 flashes* Door open/ajar 5 flashes 6 flashes Boot/bonnet open/ajar (boot only if you have the IntelliStart 4** option) Bonnet open/ajar (only if you have the IntelliStart 4** option) 7 flashes Ignition switch was turned on whilst the system was armed 8 flashes Three or more incorrect valet codes were entered 10 flashes Power tampering or the vehicle battery is very low * If your vehicle has a factory-installed feature that turns off or dims the interior courtesy lights several seconds after you exit the vehicle, the system cannot provide this indication. ** This feature/accessory is not evaluated by Thatcham. 14

How to interpret the chirps and indicator light flashes
When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps (unless the chirp muting
feature is turned on) and indicator light flashes.
These chirp/flash acknowledgments mean:
Chirps/flashes
Meaning
1
You have disarmed the system
OR (flash only) you have remotely exited valet mode (see page 12)
2
You have armed the system
OR (flashes only) you have remotely entered valet mode (see page 12)
2 and then 4
Armed but there is a door open (if there was a 5-sec. Delay)
OR the sensor is malfunctioning (if there was a 10-sec. delay) (see Smart
AutoTesting below)
3
Disarmed but there was an intrusion attempt whilst you were away
(see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 15)
4
Armed but the bonnet or boot is ajar (see Smart AutoTesting below) or
(flashes only) confirms remote override of the Proximity Sensor (see page 13)
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the
bonnet or
boot
is open when you remotely arm, the system will
immediately
alert you of the
problem by sounding
4 chirps
and
4 indicator light flashes
instead of the usual 2 and 2. If
a
door
is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then,
5 seconds later
, there
will be
4 chirps
and
4 flashes
. (This door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that
have factory-delayed courtesy lights). If a
sensor
is malfunctioning, you will receive the
usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then,
10 seconds later
, there will be
4 chirps
and
4 flashes
.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you
use the chirp muting feature.
Specific malfunction identification
The system can also indicate the
specific
trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you
get the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon arming, perform the following to identify the
malfunctioning trigger or sensor:
1.
Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your
vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat.
2.
Count the number of flashes in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the
flash cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
LED flashes
Meaning
1 flash
Activation of Proximity Sensor
2 flashes
Activation of optional vibration/impact or tilt/motion sensor
4 flashes*
Door open/ajar
5 flashes
Boot/bonnet open/ajar (boot only if you have the IntelliStart 4** option)
6 flashes
Bonnet open/ajar (only if you have the IntelliStart 4** option)
