DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

MINI 97MY

4.1

ANTI-THEFT ALARM OPERATION

The alarm system can only be armed and disarmed by using the handset

NOTE: Subsequent unlocking of the vehicle using the key will

activate the alarm. Locking the driver's or front passenger's door

with the key will NOT arm the alarm.

The system features:

• a perimetric alarm (protects access to the passenger, engine and luggage

compartments).

• engine immobilisation.

Battery voltage to the alarm is supplied from fuse B6 in the passenger

compartment fuse box on a P wire and earth is on a B wire. The alarm also

receives battery voltage on a W wire from fuse A4 in the passenger

compartment fuse box providing the starter switch is in position II. The anti-theft

alarm indicator light receives battery voltage from fuse C4 in the passenger

compartment fuse box on a PO wire and a control signal on a YN wire from the

alarm ECU.

Handset

A coded radio signal is transmitted from the handset when either button is

pressed. The RH (padlock symbol) button is used to arm the alarm and use of

the LH button disarms it. Provided the handset is operated in the proximity of the

vehicle, the signal is received on the aerial and passed to the alarm ECU on a

WY wire.

When the alarm is armed, the anti-theft alarm indicator light flashes rapidly for

approximately 10 seconds and then continues at a slower rate as a visual

deterrent. If a door or the bonnet is not properly closed, the alarm will be armed

and the engine immobilised. The anti-theft alarm indicator light will not flash for

approximately 10 seconds, it will then flash slowly to indicate that the system is

only partially armed and to provide a visual anti-theft deterrent. When the open

door or the bonnet is closed, the alarm will become fully armed.
