Locks & Alarm
KEYS AND HANDSETS
You have been supplied with two remote handsets and a pair of
identical keys.
The key number is stamped on a tag (arrowed in illustration)
attached to the key ring. Check that the key number has been
entered in the space provided on your Security Information card.
If the key or handset is lost, contact an MG Rover dealer, who can
supply replacement or additional keys and handsets.
Keep the Security Information card, key tag, spare key and
handset in a safe place - NOT IN THE CAR!
ALARM SYSTEM
Your car is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm
and engine immobilisation system, which conforms to “The
British Industry’s Criteria For Vehicle Security”. In order to
ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are
strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the alarm system,
by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.
LOCKING THE CAR AND ARMING THE ALARM
Using the remote handset
The handset has two buttons which, when pressed, send a coded
radio signal to a receiver in the car. The ‘padlock’ symbol button
activates the alarm and a plain button deactivates the alarm. On
models with central door locking the ‘padlock’ symbol will also
lock the car and the plain button will unlock the car.
While it is not necessary to point the handset at the car, the handset
must be within range when the buttons are pressed. Note that the
operating range may vary depending upon handset battery
condition and may sometimes be limited by physical and
geographical factors beyond your control.
