Remote Control System




General






The central locking system and factory fitted alarm can be supplemented with an optional factory-fitted remote control facility. The system consists of two components:

Transmitter which is used to operate the central locking system.
Receiver which is used to receive the transmitter's coded radio signal.


Transmitter






The transmitter consists of a radio transmitter which sends a coded radio signal to the receiver. It is powered by a 3 volt lithium battery, type designation CR2025, with an estimated service life of 2 years.

When the transmitter is used, the distance from the car should not exceed 5 meters, to ensure that the receiver can read the transmitter's signal.The transmitter features two buttons, "LOCK" and UNLOCK".






The transmitter prompts the receiver to send a control signal to the central locking relay for locking and activation of the alarm when the "LOCK" button is pressed. If the car Is equipped with a central locking system with integrated deadlock, the transmitter's "LOCK" button has two functions:

Press once on "LOCK' to activate the normal central locks.
Press the "LOCK' button twice within 3 seconds to activate the deadlock and engage the alarm. The "UNLOCK" button activates the receiver, which sends a control signal to the central locking relay for unlocking and deactivation of the alarm.

Receiver






The receiver accepts the transmitter's coded signal using the built-in antenna. When a signal with the correct frequency is sent, it is decoded and compared with the programmed radio codes stored in the receiver's memory. if the code is verified as correct, the receiver sends the central locking relay a short 12 V pulse for locking or a long 12 V pulse for unlocking. If the ignition lock is in position I or II, the receiver does not send a signal to the central locking relay so the central locking system is therefore not activated.

The receiver has space for three different radio codes, which are not deleted if the car's battery is disconnected or the power supply is lost.

Receiver connections:
30 Input voltage supply (30) from fuse box position 11/15:1.
31 Ground.
ATR One short or two short 12 V output signals for locking and one long 12 V output signal to the central locking relay for unlocking.
X Input Ignition supply (15) from fuse box position 11/32:2.


NOTE: Temporary interference in the surrounding environment and modifications to the car which lead to shielding of the receiver may alter the transmitter's range.

Reprogramming The Receiver

The transmitter's two key codes are pre-programmed into the receiver when the car is delivered by the factory, but they can be changed if necessary, for instance if the transmitters are replaced.

When reprogramming the receiver, it is important to reprogram with each unique key code. The receiver can store a maximum of 3 transmitter codes in memory. Reprogramming of the receiver is performed as follows:
Switch on the ignition to position I or II 5 times within the space of 10 seconds, and leave the ignition on the 5th time.





Within 30 seconds, press either the "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button once on the transmitter. All the transmiffers must be reprogrammed within 30 seconds.






Switch off the ignition.






Check that each of the transmitters functions properly.


NOTE: If neither the "LOCK" nor the "UNLOCK" button is pressed within 30 seconds, the reprogramming process will not be implemented and the receiver will retain the previous key codes. When reprogramming is completed, the previously stored key codes are deleted from the receiver's memory.
