The system is delivered with a set of standard functionalities
(active functions). The installer is able to activate some
more functionalities (programmable functions) with an
impact on the security and comfort the system will offer.
The following are the lists of the two groups.

4600

USER MANUAL

3. - ACTIVE FUNCTIONS.

3.1 -

Interior protection with ultrasonic volumetric

sensor.

The system protects the vehicle interior with a volumetric
ultrasonic sensor. Any attempt to get into the vehicle will
be detected and the alarm will trigger.

3.2 -

Perimetric protection with door open warning

diagnostic.

The alarm will trigger by opening any door, boot and bonnet.
Should you have left any door opened while arming, the
system will signal it by 3 fl ashes of the direction lights and
3 audible signals (5 audible signals if the arming/disarming
audible signals function has been activated).

3.3 -

Cable cutting protection

(only for systems with

back-up battery siren).

The alarm will trigger if the system is not power supplied
(cutting of cables - battery disconnection) signaling the
sabotage.

3.4 -

Engine starting inhibition.

As soon as the system is armed the engine starting is not
be possible anymore.

3.5 -

Arming the system with the volumetric ultrasonic

protection disabled.

This function allows to arm the system leaving temporarily
disconnected the interior volumetric protection. The
protection must be disabled any time you leave somebody
or an animal in the vehicle. Also if you want to leave any
window opened please disable the protection to avoid false
alarms. All other protections remain active.

To disable the volumetric protection proceed as follow:
switch the engine off being sure that the ignition switch
has been turned to the OFF position. Within 5 s press the
emergency panel pushbutton and keep it pressed until it
will fl ash once to confi rm that the volumetric protection only
has been disabled. By keeping the pushbutton pressed
the system will confi rm with two fl ashes that the additional
sensor input only has been disabled, with three fl ashes
for both of them disabled. The selected protection will
remain disabled until the system will be disarmed. It will
be automatically restored at the next arming.

Note:

on some vehicles the system automatically disables

the volumetric protection if any windows is left
opened.

Ask your installer if this functionality is provided by the
system fi tted on your vehicle.

USER MANUAL

3.6 -

Emergency panel LED.

The LED main scope is to show the system arming and
disarming conditions. When the system is armed the LED
gets ON and remains illuminated until the 25 s arming
period has elapsed. After that it starts blinking. It goes OFF
as soon as the system is disarmed.

3.7 -

Alarms memory .

If the system has gone off (alarm ON) during the arming
time it will warn you with 3 fl ashes of the direction lights and
3 audible signals (5 audible signals if the arming/disarming
audible signals function has been activated). It also stores
in its memory the reason of the occurred alarm and shows
it on the emergency panel LED. Count the number of

fl ashes and check the corresponding alarm reason on the
table. By turning the key ON the memory will be deleted

3.8 -

Emergency disarming.

If the vehicle original remote control get lost or if it doesn’t
work, open the door with the mechanical key and turn the

PROGRAMMABLE

FUNCTIONS.

4.1 -

Activation and volume adjustment of the

audible arming and disarming signaling.

This function allows to activate a short audible signal to
confi rm the system’s arming and disarming.

4.2 -

Passive arming.

The system will automatically arm after 30 s the ignition
key has been switched off and the driver side door has
been opened and closed, so 30 s after the driver has left
the vehicle.

4.3 -

Auto re-arming

The system will automatically re-arm if, after 115 s, it has
been disarmed and no one door has been opened (nobody
gets on the vehicle).

4.4 -

Auto re-arming with doors locking.

As for auto re-arming, but doors will lock (if the CDL
connections have been made).

4.5 -

Passive engine starting inhibition.

The starting inhibition becomes active after 115 s the
vehicle has been switched OFF. The starting inhibition is
immediately deactivated if the Driver Card is detected or
when a correct emergency PIN Code has been digit on the
emergency panel. This functionality is totally independent
from the other ones.

4.6 -

Confort window closing with Cobra remote
control.

This is a native function of the vehicle, so at fi rst check if it
is available.

By keeping pressed the Cobra remote control

pushbutton “A” you can close the windows from a distance.
If not you can ask your installer to fi t an additional window
closing module.

Warning:

for safety reasons we recommend to close the

windows remaining close to the vehicle.

4.7 -

Anti hi-jacking.

This function prevents the vehicle for being stealing while
driving. It has been studied to also guarantee the driver
safety. If the driver is not recognized by the system he will
be considered as not authorized to drive the vehicle. The
system will generate an alarm sequence and it will prevent
the vehicle to start again after it has been switched OFF.

USER MANUAL

4600

During the normal usage of the vehicle the driver is
recognized by the system in two ways:

- automatic:

by the Driver Card matched to the system

(if provided);

- manual:

by entering with the emergency panel

pushbutton the fi rst two digits of the PIN Code.

The driver recognition must happen any time the ignition
key is turned to the ON position or when, with the ignition
key already ON, the driver side door is opened and then
closed to get off the vehicle. If the driver is not recognized
within 60 s the emergency panel LED starts fl ashing quickly
signaling the missed driver recognition for the next 30 s.
When this time elapses the system starts generating alarm
sequences also if the engine is running, so this situation can
take place while the vehicle is driven. The engine starting
inhibition will become activate as soon as the ignition key
is turned to the OFF position; additional attempt to start the
vehicle will not be possible. To interrupt the anti hi-jacking
functionality press once the Driver Card pushbutton or digit
the complete emergency PIN Code on the emergency
panel pushbutton.

Nota:

the product is delivered with this function disabled

as its usage invalids the product European
homologation. It can be used only for non-european
countries where the functionality is not in confl ict with
the local regulations.

4.8 -

Garage mode.

This function allows to temporarily disable all protection
automatic functionalities of the system .It can be used,
as an example, when you need to leave the vehicle at a
workshop for maintenance to avoid the automatic activation
of any functionality. When the garage function is active the
driver is allowed to turn the ignition key on for 10 times
(engine running). After 10 times the system restore all
automatic functionalities.
