Operating The Alarm System - Datatool S4 User Manual

Operating the alarm system

This section explains fully how the alarm system works.
For a more basic explanation refer to the credit card
sized instructions (S4 Quick reference) supplied. We
advise you to carry the quick reference card with you
for roadside guidance.
Arming the system
Passive arming
Unless the unit has been placed in 'winter' mode, the
system will always passive arm 45 seconds after the
ignition is turned OFF.
When the ignition is turned OFF the LED will light
continuously before emitting a set of increasing rate
beeps in the last 5 seconds.
The LED changes to flashing to indicate the system is
activated.
When set to the factory default the system passively
arms the immobiliser and ignition trigger only.
If you wish to make the alarm fully arm passively you
can do this via the software switches covered within the
customisation section of this manual.
Fully arming the alarm system
To fully arm the alarm system to give movement,
nudge, trigger switch and battery back-up coverage,
press the GREY button on the remote control within
45 seconds of turning the ignition off. The indicators
will flash twice.
NOTE: It is possible for your dealer to add Arm/Disarm
beeps to the system via the customisation software
switches to the system gives audible signals also when
it is armed/disarmed.
NOTE: The inclusion of arm and disarm indication
beeps is strictly forbidden in all EU countries.
The LED will start to flash 5 seconds after the alarm is
armed and will be fully active after 20 seconds.
If you have changed the default settings within the
software section and selected FULL passive arming
of both the alarm and immobiliser (except on the S4
Green model) 45 seconds after turning off the ignition.
You can still arm it instantly by pressing the GREY
button of the remote within the first 45 seconds after
turning off the ignition.
If the system has passively armed as an immobiliser
and you wish to arm it fully, simply press the GREY
button TWICE. The first press disarms the system, the
