Control via Tag
The tag serves as an electronic key. When traveling in a vehicle equipped with an immobilizer, it is necessary to always have the tag with you. Exchange of codes via radio channel between the tag and the locking module prevents engine locking during the journey. If an attempt is made to drive the vehicle without the tag, the engine will be locked.
It is recommended to carry the tag separately from the main keychain. Do not leave the tag in the car - in this case, the protective functions of the immobilizer will be disabled.
МThe tag has a button and a tricolor LED indicator, which are used for:
- Displaying the current operating mode.
- Monitoring the communication between the tag and the locking module.
- Switching between security modes.
- Entering the service mode.
The tags included in the immobilizer kit are initially in transport mode, in which they are disabled! Pressing the tag button in this mode will be indicated by green and red flashes of the built-in LED.
Before starting operation, it is necessary to press the tag button several times until the color of the flashes changes to green.
Up to four tags can be registered in the immobilizer, and all tags can be inside the car simultaneously.
Checking the Operating Mode and Communication Control
- Briefly press the tag button.
- The tag LED will flash 1 or 2 times. The flash color will correspond to the current operating mode of the immobilizer.
- The second LED flash indicates the presence of stable communication between the tag and the locking module.
If the second flash is absent, the communication between the tag and the locking module is disrupted. This may occur when moving away from the vehicle at a distance of more than 10 meters or in the presence of strong interference.
In the i95 ECO, when the ignition is off, there is no communication between the tag and the locking module.
Choosing the Security Mode
To change the security mode, follow these steps:
- Press and hold the tag button.
Immediately after pressing, the tag will indicate the current operating mode and the status of the communication with the locking module. If the button is held for more than 2 seconds, the LED will light up for 2 seconds. The flash color will correspond to the next security mode. - Release the tag button during the 2-second period indicating the next security mode.
- Successful mode change will be confirmed by a flash of the LED, the color of which will correspond to the new operating mode.
Example of transitioning from normal mode to antihijack mode:
Transition between security modes can be performed even if there is no communication between the tag and the locking module (when away from the vehicle). The selected mode will be set after the first successful exchange of codes between the tag and the immobilizer.
Low Battery Alert for Tag
To prevent engine locking in case of tag battery discharge, the immobilizer monitors its charge level.
A low battery level in the tag is indicated by three short audible signals within 5 minutes after turning on the ignition.
Additionally, battery discharge is indicated by three flashes of red color when pressing the tag button.
Complete battery discharge will result in tag deactivation. In this case, the engine will be locked. When the battery discharge indication appears, it is necessary to replace the battery as soon as possible.
Battery Replacement
The tag uses one CR2025 or CR2032 type battery. The battery life is up to 12 months and depends on the quality of the battery and the immobilizer settings.
To replace the battery, carefully use a flat metal or plastic object (metal ruler, thin plastic) to open the tag housing and, observing the polarity (as shown in the photo), install the battery into the compartment. Before closing the tag housing, place a waterproof seal between its parts. After installing the battery in the tag, the immobilizer is ready for use.
