Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Anti-Theft System Function

The alarm system offers the following forms of protection:
^ Perimetric protection against unauthorised opening of all doors, tailgate, and bonnet.
^ Engine crank inhibit against unauthorised engine crank.
^ Electronic engine immobilisation against unauthorised engine start.
^ Volumetric protection against intrusion into the passenger compartment.

NOTE: Perimetric protection is also triggered by the driver's door sill switch being lifted and the ignition switch being turned on.

Perimetric Protection
The system is perimetrically armed whenever the vehicle is manually central door locked using the driver's door key. A lock request from the handset will volumetrically arm the theft alarm.

Volumetric Protection
Using the handset transmitter will turn on and off volumetric protection. In volumetric mode all doors, tailgate, and bonnet are protected against unauthorised entry, and the Ignition Switch is protected from being switched on. In addition, the vehicle interior is protected using the Alarm Sensor (X213).

Theft Alarm Disarming
(Perimetric and Volumetric Modes)

The theft alarm can only be disarmed with the handset (or EKA code).

NOTE: The theft alarm system cannot be disarmed using the driver's door key.
