Sigma Category 1 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Auto Re-arm
This feature is turned on at installation, but can be turned off by your SUBARUdealer.
Auto Re-arm will automatically re-arm and double-lock a pre-set time of 60 seconds
(dependent on programming), from the system being disarmed by the radio transmitter,
provided that no door, bonnet or boot has been opened during that time. This
prevents the vehicle being vulnerable if the radio transmitter button is pressed by mistake
perhaps from inside your house while your car is parked close by in the driveway or
street, or if children press the radio transmitter button in play! This feature provides extra
security with no inconvenience.
4. Emergency Override Using the
Multi-Function Keypad
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
In the following sections describing the functions of the multi-function keypad,
reference to a PIN code will be made. The PIN code for your security system will
have been issued to you on two self-adhesive labels. This PIN code is unique to
your security system and you must keep it in a safe place. Alternatively you can
change the PIN code printed on the issued labels, to one of your own choice that
you can easily remember. Failure to recall your PIN code could increase the cost of
replacing or adding further radio transmitters and will prevent yourself and your
SUBARU dealer from overriding the security system in the unlikely event of radio
transmitter failure. If you do not know, or have forgotten your PIN code then your
SUBARU dealer can reset this for you, provided that the security system is not
armed.
Note:
When using the keypad, each time a button is pressed the LED on the keypad will
flash once as confirmation. The next button should not be pressed before this
confirmation. However, you only have 10 seconds to enter the next character. If you
do not press the next character within this time period the LED on the keypad will
flash repeatedly, after which you must start the sequence again from the beginning.
Disarming the Security System if it fails to operate using the
Radio Transmitter
If the radio transmitter fails to operate the security system, due to a depleted battery in the
radio transmitter for example, or its total loss/damage, the security system can be
disarmed using the keypad. To do this, enter the vehicle (the siren will sound), type your
PIN code into the keypad, the security system will disarm in the normal way. The vehicle
should be started whilst the dashboard LED is still illuminated, before the self-setting
immobiliser re-arms. The keypad only allows three attempts to enter the correct PIN
code. If a third incorrect PIN code is entered the security system will ignore all PIN
code entries for 30 minutes. This is a security feature.
