Electronic Features (19.00)
Active Anti-Theft System (19.01)
Alarm System Overview
All alarm and central locking operations are controll
ed from within the Central Electronic Module (CEM).
Component Descriptions
Battery Backed Sounder
This device produces the audible out-put from the alarm
system. The sounder can also house a tilt sensor to detect
unauthorised vehicle movement.
Guard Reduction Switch
Used to disable the mass movement sensor, double locking
and tilt sensor, so that people or animals can be left in the
vehicle.
Mass Movement Sensor (optional)
Detects movement within the cabin of the car using
microwaves. It is specifically designed to protect the ignition
barrel and lock.
Central Electronics Module (CEM)
This module controls the vehicle alarm system. The CEM
controls all alarm system inputs and outputs.
Driver Informatio n Module (DIM)
Instrument Cluster
The message centre right provides text messages displaying
alarm information to the user.
Ajar switches (perimeter sensors)
The car is equipped with ajar switches to sense unauthorised
access to the following areas:
