OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
You would have received from your installer, two remote controls (see fig. 1) and have been shown
the location of the Status LED (fig. 2).
FUNCTIONS
Button A: arming/disarming of the alarm (290i2)
Button A: arming/disarming of the alarm and
immobiliser (291);
Button B: panic, ultrasonic exclusion function;
Button C: special programmable functions; boot
opening* or lighting*.
ARMING THE ALARM SYSTEM
Press button A (arm/disarm), located on the right of
the remote control (see fig. 1). The direction indicator
lights will flash twice and the alarm may give two
audible tones (programmable function) will be generated
at the same time to indicate that the alarm system has
been armed. The power locks* will close along with the
electric power windows* and electric sunroof*. The red
LED (see fig. 2) in the passenger compartment will
remain on for 30 seconds (pre-alarm time) and then will
begin flashing in a regular pattern.

DISARMING THE ALARM SYSTEM
Press button A (arm/disarm), located on the right of the remote control (see fig. 1). The direction
indicator lights will flash once and the alarm may give one audible tone (programmable function)
generated at the same time to indicate that the alarm system has been disarmed. The power locks*
will open and, if button C is activated, all the courtesy lights will turn on for 10 seconds. If an
alarm was generated while the system was armed, when the system is disarmed the direction
indicator lights will flash briefly (½ second) and an audible tone will be produced to indicate that an
alarm condition has occurred. To identify the sensor that caused the alarm, consult the “ALARM
AUTO-DIAGNOSTICS” paragraph.
SENSOR ACTIVATION AFTER ARMING
Once armed an alarm condition will be generated by power supply interruption and the turning ON
of the ignition key. An alarm condition will not be generated by the door/bonnet/boot being opened
or interior (ultrasonic/microwave sensors) movement until the alarm has been armed for 30
seconds (pre-alarm time).
ALARM CONDITION
When a sensor is activated, the system will generate an alarm condition: direction indicators flash and
the siren sounds for 30 seconds (alarm cycle). At the end of the alarm cycle, if the same sensor is still
activated, the alarm will generate an alarm cycle again.
ALARM CYCLE LIMITATION
The system will automatically exclude the sensor, which has generated 8 alarm cycles. All the
other sensors will continue to protect the vehicle. The maximum number of alarm cycle for every
sensor is 8, except for power supply interruption sensor (10 alarm cycles).
Note: If a sensor continues to remains activated whilst in the pre-alarm time, the system will
automatically exclude this sensor at the end of the pre-alarm time and not generate an alarm
condition. When the alarm system is next disarmed the direction indicator lights will flash briefly (½
second) and an audible tone will be produced to indicate that a senor was activated whilst arming.
To identify the sensor that was activated, consult the “ALARM AUTO-DIAGNOSTICS” paragraph.
BUTTON ‘B’ FUNCTIONS (Panic and Excluding the ultrasonic sensors and electric power
window* module)
Panic function: Pressing this button twice within a maximum of 3 seconds activates the siren for 10
seconds and the additional siren*. To stop the sound prior to the 10 seconds, press button ‘B’ on the
remote control.
Excluding the ultrasonic sensors and electric power window* module using the remote
control: Arm the alarm system using button ’A’ on the remote control; within 30 seconds (pre-
alarm time) press button ‘B’ of the remote control. The direction indicator lights will flash once and
you will hear a brief audible tone to confirm the programming. Now the ultrasonic sensors and
accessory output are temporarily deactivated.
The functions will be reset the next time the alarm is armed using the remote control or
an electronic key.
IMMOBILISATION (291 only)
When the alarm system is armed, an internal immobiliser (921K) isolates the vehicle starting
circuits (e.g. starter motor/fuel pump) to prevent running of the vehicle.
PASSIVE IMMOBILISATION (291 only)
The internal immobiliser (921K) activates automatically after 30 seconds of turning the ignition
OFF or 60 seconds after the alarm has been disarmed using the remote control, without turning
the ignition key ON. The LED (see fig. 4) installed on the dashboard will begin flashing rapidly to
indicate that the internal relay is in the immobilised condition. Whilst in the passive immobilised
condition, when the ignition is turned ON the alarm will generate audible tones. If the passive
immobilisation is not disarmed by the 10
th
audible tone the alarm will fully arm and then sound an
alarm condition.
To disarm the passive immobilisation, turn the ignition key to the ON position and press button “A”
of the remote control. The audible tones will be interrupted and the LED will stop flashing.
DISARMING USING THE EMERGENCY PIN CODE (290i2 Only)
This function only applies if there is no optional electronic key.
If all the remote controls have been lost or are malfunctioning, you can disarm the alarm system
using the “emergency pin code”.
HOW TO KNOW YOUR EMERGENCY PIN CODE
To display the emergency pin code (Pin Code), wait 10 seconds after the memorisation of the last
remote control or just follow points 1,2,3 of the “Auto-learning” procedure and wait 10 seconds.
The system will use the LED on the dashboard to present a series of 5 flashes that will correspond
to 5 numbers.
For the numbersn° of corresponding flashes

On the above example, the Pin Code to note at the end of these instructions would be 5 6 0 5 4.
It is imperative to note on a piece of paper this pin code, if it is different from the original pin code
displayed in the rear of these instructions. This pin code must then be stored in a secure location.
Note: If you intend to leave these instructions in the vehicle, the pin code in the back of these
instructions should be removed for safe keeping.
This pin code is derived from the first remote control memorised when you auto-learn a new
remote control. If you want to change the pin code from the original code, you may have to follow
the auto-learning procedure more than once alternating the first remote control until a new pin
code is given.

HOW TO DISARM THE ALARM USING THE EMERGENCY PIN CODE
If your transmitter does not work correctly or has been lost, to disarm the alarm system you must
insert the “emergency pin code” by doing the following:
1)With the alarm armed, activate the siren by opening the door on the driver’s side;
2)Enter the vehicle. The alarm will stop sounding after 30 seconds and then the LED installed on
the dashboard will illuminate for 5 seconds. Within the 5 seconds, turn on the ignition key for
1 second;
3)The LED installed on the dashboard will start to flash and the alarm is ready to accept the Pin
Code. If not interrupted, the LED will flash 10 times. Wait for the flashes corresponding to
each digit of your Pin Code to be displayed, then turn ON the ignition key for 1 second onlyafter the LED is off. Read Pin Code at the end of these instructions from left to right. For a
better understanding, see the example.

EXAMPLE: the code to be inserted is 5 6 0 5 4. First digit 5 - Wait 5 flashes for the first digit. After
the fifth flash has been completed and the LED has turned OFF, immediately turn ON the ignition
key for 1 second. Turn the ignition OFF and after a pause, the LED will flash for the next digit of the
Pin Code; Second digit 6 - Wait 6 flashes for the second digit. After the sixth flash has been completed and the LED has turned OFF, immediately turn ON the ignition key for 1 second. Turn the
ignition OFF and after a pause, the LED will flash for the next digit of the Pin Code; Third digits 0 For the 0 digit, the flashes to be completed on the LED are 10. Continue until all the digits have
been displayed and inputted correctly. If the code inserted is correct, the alarm will automatically
DISARM without any audible tones and visual signals. If the code is incorrect, an alarm condition
will occur.

ARMING THE ALARM SYSTEM
The alarm system can also be armed using the electronic key (See fig. 3). Placing the key on the
LED receptacle (See fig. 4) arms the alarm without activating the power locking system. The
direction indicator lights will flash twice and the alarm may give two audible tones, (programmable
function) generated at the same time to indicate that the system has been armed. Then the LED
(see fig. 4) in the passenger compartment will remain on for 30 seconds (pre-alarm time) and
