Emergency disarm / PIN code override

IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.

Emergency disarm allows you to temporarily disarm the alarm if the
remotes are lost or broken (or the remote batteries are flat) so you
can start the car. This is done using a unique 5-digit PIN code being
entered via the ignition key.

The unique PIN code for your alarm is recorded on the
Emergency Disarm card supplied with this manual. Without
it there is no way to disarm the alarm. Please familiarise

yourself on how to use the PIN code, and carry the card with you
safely at all times, so you are able to carry out emergency disarm
if required.
