reconnection does not immobilise the v ehicle until reset by the ignition being turned ON then OFF.
If the battery was disconnected whilst the system was armed, reconnection will return the sy stem to
the armed state and then immediately trigger.

SYSTEM OVERRIDE – PIN CODED FACTORY PRE-S ET CODE IS 1-1-1-1

Should the remote control fail to operate the system or is lost, the system can be overridden using a
unique 4 digit PIN code of your choice. You can change the PIN code at any time when the system is
disarmed and how to do this is detailed later in this manual. The PIN is therefore a unique number to
y ou and must be memorised or kept secure. Remov ing power does not re-s et the code.
To ov erride the security system use the following procedure.

NOTE: During system override, the remote controls will not function.

Assuming a PIN code of 2-3-3-4 as an example;

A) Open door with the ignition key and clos e all doors.

(Lights will flash and optional siren will sound)

The ove rride sequence does not operate with any door open.

B) Tu rn ignition on/off - on /off - on
LED ligh ts for 3 seco nds to signify override mode

turn ignition off - LED li ghts sol id for 2 seconds then turn ig nition on
D) wait for LED to flash the 2nd digit (3)
turn ignition off - LED li ghts sol id for 2 seconds then turn ig nition on
E) wait for LED to fl ash the 3rd digit (3)
turn ignition off - LED li ghts sol id for 2 seconds then turn ig nition on
F) wai t for LED to flash the 4th digit (4)

Assuming the PIN code is correct, the system will now disarm and the optional
si ren will stop sounding and the engine may be started.
