SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Mongoose M18 EZ-GO vehicle security system is fully automatic for arming and disarming.
No remote buttons to press as the system in the vehicle scans for your handset.
When you exit and walk at least 2~4 metres away from your vehicle, the security system will arm,
immobilise t he engine and lock all the doors automatically when your handset is out of reception range.
When you walk back towards your vehicle and come into the reception range, 2~4 metres depending on
where this units antenna is located in your vehicle, the doors will automatically unlock and the alarm system
disarms – however, the engine remains immobilised until you are ready to start the engine.
The handset can be used as a conventional remote control and a description of the functions are shown
above.
Radio interference:
Due to the nature of this security system, it may be affected by radio interference from other identical
systems or other strong transmission signals. This is not a fault and normally only affects the automatic
proximity function but not the manual remote functions. If your system is affected in the location where the
vehicle is parked, please use the manual remote control functions.

5 MAIN EZ-GO FUNCTIONS:
1. Automatic Unlock & Alarm Disarm
When t he user with the handset walks into the 2~4 metre reception range of the vehicle, the alarm
system will automatically UNLOCK the vehicle doors. At the same time, the alarm system will disarm
including the impact sensor but at this stage the engine will remain immobilised.
2. Automatic Immobiliser
The system will automatically immobilise the vehicle after the ignition is t urned OFF and a door is
opened. The vehicle cannot be started if the handset is not present.
3. Automatic Lock & Alarm Arm
If any door is opened and then closed after the ignition has been t urned OFF, the system will start to
check if the handset is still present. If present, the system will not LOCK/ARM and continues to check if
the handset is within range.
If the handset is not present or the user moves out of range, the system will LOCK/ARM the vehicle
automatically within 6 seconds.
** If the user intends to work/stay around the vehicle for a period of time, it is recommended to turn off
the EZ-GO function temporarily (see below Note 1).
4. Automatic Re-Arm/Re-Lock
The system will re-arm & re-lock the car if either of the following two conditions applies:
1) The user with the handset gets into the range and then goes away without opening the door
2) The user opens and closes the door without turning the IGN to ON, and then goes out of range.
5. Anti-Hijack Function
While the ignition is ON, if any car door is opened, 2 minutes later, the system will transmit signals for
30 seconds to check if the handset is present. If the system does not receive the response from the
handset, the siren will start to intermittently sound and the cars indicators will flash for 50 seconds. 50
seconds later, the engine will be stopped and immobilised. The siren will continue to sound and
indicators to flash for 30 seconds.
Under this condition, the system will continue to check if the handset is nearby. Even if the ignition is
turned off and on again, if the handset is still not present, system will proceed with the same action as
described above - ” Siren will continue to sound and indicators will flash for 30 seconds and then
stop.”
