To arm content theft alarm. 1. Open the door. 2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY light should flash. 3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until the SECURITY light goes off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.
You have locked yourself out of a vehicle that has one of the most "overengineered" and theft resistant security systems known to man.. If you are locked out do not, repeat DO NOT ALLOW anyone or you yourself attempt to gain entry with a "slim jim". Just trust me without further explanation. The only method i know to be succesfull without damage is the "wedge" method. Best done by someone with experience like a AAA/towtruck driver. Rubber or wood wedges are inserted or wedged in between the upper door frame and the roof panel opening up a gap sufficient to work some long tools to trigger the door lock. Once you get the door open Im assuming you will have your key which will disengage the engine "immobiliser" when the ignition is turned. If youve lost your key there is no option except to visit your Rover dealership parts department, title/registration and ID in hand, to order a new laser cut key. Usually about three days for the key only and about a week and $200+ for the flip out key remote. Hope this helps. feel free to post more info/questions, ill do my best to help. Good luck!
if the key does not turn the lock spray it out with wd 40 run key in and out of lock few times.because everyone uses remotes to open their cars the waffers in the door locks get coroded and wont fall in proper place when key is inserted.give it good cleaning and see if it will unlock
I know this question is old but I recently encountered a similar problem with my 1995 323 BA and this may help someone else. Override the immobilizer by doing the following:
open the car via the drivers door put the key in the ignition turn the key to ACC now turn the key to ON repeat the last 2 steps X 12 quickly (ignore the indicators flashing and the central locking activating). the dashboard should be lighting up as normal. Now turn the key to START
Key must be made by the dealer and programmed to the vehicle. There is a chip in the key that the antitheft system must read to start the engine. Any key blank with matching cut can open the door, no chip necessary
i tried this my self on my car without calling or using nothin big but a smaller car key just move the smller key around so it can move the seal and keep movin the door handle it should pop the lock if you move the seal to open the lock
hi, to program the keys to the vehicle is quite simple
1) open the vehicle, sit inside and close the door
2) insert the key in the ignition and turn to position 1 so that just the air bag light illuminates
3) press and hold the unlock button on the key and remove the key from the ignition (do not release the unlock button)
4) while still holding the unlock button with the key removed press the lock button 3 times
5) release the unlock button on the remote and the door locks should lock and unlock if the proceedure has been carried out correctly
6) to program any other key(s) press and hold the unlock button on remote and again press the lock button 3 times but do not insert it into the ignition or turn the ignition on as done previous.
you may want to print these instructions and read them a few times before proceeding, if you muck up the process while programing keys, no harm will be done, you just have to start the process over. hope this is of some help, regards mark.
