Module Configuration
Principles of Operation
All configurable modules ar e packaged in a kit which
contains a warning label and a multi-language sheet re-
emphasizing the requirements to configure replacement
modules.
Replacement configurable modules must be configured
using WDS.
Market Configuration
This data is required so that modules can interact with the
vehicle correctly. By using WDS this data will be retrieved in
the following ways:
• Indirectly from a mirrored image of the old modules data stored in an ‘As is’ database on DCS
• Indirectly from information stored in WDS
Configuration
The complexity of the electronics involved with module
configuration and the multiplex communication network
which they are connected to preclude the use of general
workshop electrical test equipment.
WDS contains detailed instructions on module
configuration.
Install the new module(s) and download the ‘As is’ data
using the vehicle configuration software on WDS.
Customer Configuration
There are certain modules / functions that the customer may
or may not want reconfigured or enabled. Some of these
preferences are accessed through the ‘in-car’ menus,
available on the infotainment centre. Others are set in the
vehicle configuration or specific software files, these items
can be toggled or configured by WDS.
The ‘As is’ database (AML) holds customer original
preferences. When a new module is installed to a previously
upgraded or reconfigured vehicle these preferences can
retrieved and re-applied as required through WDS
Data Buses
The primary data required for control and operation is
carried on CAN data buses.
Two Can buses are used:
• High Speed CAN bus operates at 500 k bits / sec and is primarily used to transmit powertrain data
• The Powertrain (high speed) CAN bus operates at 500 k bits / sec and is only used to link the two PCMs
• Low Speed CAN bus operates at 125 k bits / sec and is used to transmit data relevant to the body system.
Network Bus
MOST
The MOST network bus is a fibr e optical network used only
for the Infotainment System
WDS will permanently retain th e configuration information

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

Functional Description
Overview – Alarm
The Vehicle Alarm System (VAS) will generate an audible
and visual warning if the vehicle doors, bonnet or boot are
opened without first disarming the system using an
authorised remote transmitter key.
There are two types of alarm system:
•Standard
• High Specification (optional). Includes an interior
movement sensor and tilt sensor
The interior movement sensor offers further protection of
the ignition barrel and steering wheel lock, the tilt sensor will
detect unauthorised angular movement of the vehicle.
A Battery Backup sounder (BBS) is used to protect the
sounder from disconnection. The BBS will sound if any
attempt is made to disconnect it from the rest of the alarm
system when the vehicle is armed.
General setting
The system will be armed on the first press of the remote
transmitter ‘Lock’ button. Th e alarm system will arm and
deadlock 25 seconds after receiving the arm request.
Door open
If the alarm system is set when any door, bonnet or boot are
left open, then the alarm will be armed on all closed doors
only, 25 seconds after the alarm set command has been
requested. The open door, bonnet or boot will not be
armed. 5 seconds after the open door, bonnet or boot have
been closed, the alarm will Arm on that door, bonnet or
boot.
Disable the Alarm
The alarm will be disabled following the unlock or boot open
commands from the remote transmitter key or by turning the
ignition key in the ignition barrel.
Reduced guard mode
When the vehicle is in reduced guard mode the mass
movement and tilt sensors are disabled. This allows people
or animals to be left in the vehicle.
With doors, boot and bonnet cl osed, ignition key in position
‘0’ or ‘I’ or within 60 sec after removing the keys the reduced
guard button can be activated.
When the alarm is set, the vehicle will enter reduced guard
mode. To deactivate reduced guard mode simply insert and
turn the ignition key to position ‘II’.
If the alarm is deactivated and then activated without turning
the ignition key to position ‘II’ first, then the reduced guard
mode will remain active.
Alarm Cycle
When the alarm has been activated there will be two
outputs, these are listed below:
Audible output device (Siren)
The audible alarm signal is generated by the battery backed
sounder. Duration of one alarm cycle is 25 seconds. The
maximum number of cycles is ten.
Visible output device DI’s
The turn indicators are activated during and alarm cycle. The
alarm signal is given by flashing all direction indicators for 5
minutes. Following an alarm cycle the vehicle alarm will
remain set.
Panic Alarm
The Panic Alarm is to be used in emergency situations for
attracting attention while in or outside the vehicle.
Activate Panic Alarm
The Panic Alarm can be activated using the Panic Alarm
button on the remote transmitter, there are two ways to
initiate the feature:
• Press the Panic Alarm button for a minimum time of 3 seconds.
• Press the Panic Alarm button tw ice, the second press must
be made within 3 seconds from the first press.
Deactivate Panic Alarm
The panic alarm cannot be deactivated for the first 5 seconds
of operation following its activation. Following the first 5
seconds of the panic alarm cycle, it can then be deactivated
in following ways:
• Pressing the panic button on the remote transmitter.
• The activation time has exceeded (25 seconds).
Panic alarm cycle
When active, the DI’s will flash and the vehicle horn will
sound for 25 seconds.
The ignition key must have be en in position ‘II’ first.

Electronic Features (19.00)19-1-4 Workshop ManualIssue 5, January 2010
Remote Transmitter
The security system allows up to eight remote transmitters to
be used for controlling the system functions.
The remote transmitter come in packs of two. Each
transmitter is associated with a
series of numbers, which are
shown on a label located on the transmitter packaging.
These numbers are required to program the transmitter to a
vehicle.
Key Learning Operations
Using WDS.
1. Select ‘Set up and Configuration’.
2. Select either:
• Transmitter add
• Transmitter Delete
3. Follow the on screen instructions. Type in the Key ID and the Seed numbers when prompted.
4. If adding a transmitter. After programming , point a transmitter at the vehicle
and attempt to lock / unlock the vehicle. If the vehicle
does not lock / unlock, attempt to lock / unlock using
the second transmitter from the pack.
After a successful ‘Transmitter add’ operation delete the
Key ID and Seed numbers taken from the packaging
label.
The remaining Key ID and Seed numbers are for the
remaining remote transmitter. Ensure that they remain
together .
Integrated Passive Anti-Theft
System (IPATS)
Description
IPATS (immobilisation system) is responsible for enabling /
disabling engine functionality. The system is totally passive
and requires no extra inte rvention from the user.
To prevent the engine from starting the IPATS disables the
fuel pumps, injectors, and the crank circuit.
Disarming IPATS
When the ignition key is located in the ignition barrel and
turned to position ‘II’, the key is validated. If successful,
subsequent requests for crank and engine start will be
allowed. If the key validation fa ils, then engine starting will
be prevented.
Arming IPATS
To arm the system the user simply removes the ignition key.
IPATS LED
An IPATS LED is located in the DIM to display the
immobilisation status and DTC’s using flash codes.
Normal behaviour following a su ccessful key read is for the
LED to illuminate for three seconds and then to extinguish.
If the self-test detects any problem with IPATS when the
ignition is turned on, the IPAT S LED will flash at 4Hz for 1
minute. The IPATS LED will then flash one of the following
codes:
Caution
Do not lose the transmitter packaging, with the number
label attached, before progra mming to the vehicle. The
remote transmitters can not be programmed without the Seed and Key ID numbers.
If the CEM is required to be renewed then all remote
transmitters must be renewed as well.
