SUBJECT: 1987 MODEL ANTI-THEFT RADIO PROGRAM
The elements of the PEUGEOT ANTI-THEFT RADIO PROGRAM have been designed in cooperation with law enforcement authorities to not only help thwart the criminal during each step of the crime, but also to reduce the market for stolen radios. It is the most comprehensive in the industry. As such, it requires that both your service and sales personnel be familiar with the system, which consists of the following elements packed with the anti-theft radio:
1. Hang Tag - the customer should place the hang tag over the inside rearview mirror to warn thieves and to help avoid vehicle break-in when the vehicle is unattended. It is reflective to maximize its visibility.
2. Warning Decals - the customer should remove the 2 "warning decals" from the back cover of the anti-theft radio owner's manual and place them on the side windows near the door locks in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
3. Anti-Theft Radio - the words "anti-theft" are shown in white letters 1/8" high to act as a deterrent.
4. Flashing LED - when the ignition key is removed, a red LED will flash continuously to serve as a warning to thieves.
5. Anti-Removal Feature - if any radio pushbutton is touched with the ignition key removed, the radio will "beep" for 5 minutes. Should this feature be activated accidentally, simply advise the customer to turn the ignition "on" momentarily and the beeping will stop.
6. Radio Non-Salability Warning Decal - should a thief remove the radio despite all of the warnings, a decal located on top of the radio chassis will warn him that the radio is an "anti-theft" unit and therefore not readily salable.
7. Anti-Damage Design - should a thief try to remove the radio despite all of the warnings, its mounting is designed to minimize the potential for dashboard damage, therefore reducing the average insurance claim value.
8. Anti-Theft Radio Computerized Protection - the microprocessor controlling the radio is assigned a 5-digit "anti-theft code" as printed on the identification cards on the last page of the owner's manual. If the radio is stolen, it must obviously be electrically disconnected. Once disconnected, the radio and cassette will not operate when voltage is later restored. The display will show the word "code." Unless a 5-digit "anti-theft code" assigned to that particular radio is entered using the pre-set station buttons, the radio will not operate, thereby reducing the market potential for stolen radios. It is extremely unlikely that the correct 5-digit code can be guessed.
APPLICATION
1. This radio is standard on all 1987 STI, STX, and Turbo S models
2. This radio may also be installed in 1986 vehicles - order wiring adapter PIN 35.67.
PDS
To maximize security of the anti-theft codes, the code card and owners manual are in a sealed "Anti-Theft Radio Program" envelope placed in the glove box.
"Code" will appear in the display when the radio is turned on. The technician that performs the PDS should enter the 5-digit code number and then functionally test the radio and speakers.
Some early production radios were manufactured without the dayglow red "radio non-salability warning decal" installed on the top of the radio as shown below:
On these early units, the dayglow red decal was placed in the "Anti-Theft Radio Program" envelopes. Please pull the radio out far enough to install the decal as shown above. Do not block any of the air circulation holes.
NEW OPERATIONS CONCEPTS
This radio incorporates some new operating concepts as outlined in the attached reprint of the radio owner's manual:
* one-step memory programming of radio pushbuttons
* logic controlled rewind, scan and fast-forward - depress the button to start desired function, press again to stop.
* automatic tape equalization
* automatic tape cleaning indication after each 15 hours of tape use
* dual function pushbuttons (radio or tape mode)
PRIORITY DELIVERY PROGRAM PROCEDURES
The technician performing the PDS should return the radio owner's handbook and anti-theft program envelope to the Sales Manager for inclusion into the "Priority Delivery Tri-Fold."
The salesman should explain the features of the new radio to the customer.
LOSS OF CODE CARDS
Should a customer lose his code cards he should be instructed to visit the Authorized Peugeot Dealer of his choice. Proof of vehicle ownership and proper identification (valid driver's license) must be verified by Peugeot dealer personnel. This information will be accepted only from authorized dealer personnel by Peugeot Motors of America before releasing the radio "anti-theft" codes. This is necessary for customer protection and security.
NOTE:
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF CODES MUST BE DIRECTED ONLY TO THE NATIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT IN LYNDHURST. ZONES WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE CODES.
ASSISTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
In the unlikely event that a customer's anti-theft radio is stolen, remind him to provide the police with the serial number of the radio from either of the code cards. This will aid the police in identifying your radio, if recovered, and in prosecuting the thieves.
