System Features Stealth Coding Technology Stealth Coding technology offers the most advanced protection available against code-grabbing devices which thieves may use to record the digital code transmitted by your remote control. When you leave the area, thieves can then play back the code to unlock the doors and de-activate your system. Avital’s remote controls with Stealth Coding randomly change the code every time you use them, and your system will not respond if any code is re-transmitted.
Passive Immobilisation The built-in Dual Circuit Immobiliser will passively arm (indicated by a slow LED flash), 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. (This feature is a Thatcham and EC requirement and, therefore, is not user-programmable.) To disarm the Immobiliser when it has Passively Immobilised, use the remote control to arm and then disarm the system, or turn the ignition on and press the button.

Security & Convenience Expansions Listed below are some of the many expansion options available. Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you. ■ Audio Sensor - Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyses them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
■ Electric Boot Release - The accessory output of the system can operate a factory electric release for the vehicle’s boot or hatch. Although the on-board circuit can control some electric factory releases, an optional relay is usually required. If the factory release is not electric-activated, Directed®'s 522T boot release solenoid can often be added. ■ Electric Window Control - Automatic electric window control is provided with the 529T and 530T systems.
LED - A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system. Transmitter - A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system. Trigger or Triggered Sequence - This is what happens when the alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system consists of the siren sounding and indicators flashing. Valet Switch - A small push-button switch mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle.
