TOYOTA VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM TVSS IIIB

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When the system is armed do not unlock and open the vehicle (doors or boot) by the key method as this will sound the alarm.

SYSTEM FEATURE

TVSS IIIB is a system which offers an additional Theft Deterrent to compliment the Engine Immobiliser System (EIS) described in the owner's manual.

The TVSS IIIB is designed to detect

a. Movement within the vehicle's interior (If selected on the handset).

b. Opening of doors, boot or bonnet.

c. Disconnection of the battery.

When the system is armed and one of the above conditions is detected, the hazard lights will flash and the siren will sound for 30 seconds.

TO STOP THE SIREN SOUNDING

-If the siren sounds pressing the Remote Control Lock Button will cancel the siren and leave the vehicle doors locked and the system armed. -pressing the Remote Control Unlock Button will cancel the siren and disarm the system. If a door or bonnet is not opened within 30 seconds, the doors will automatically lock and the system will arm.

SYSTEM OPERATION

SECURITY LED

WARNING: it should not be relied upon to indicate that the vehicle is armed/locked as it will also operate under the following conditions:

Turn Ign. off > Exit Vehicle > Close Door > LED flashes.

If the doors are subsequently opened, then closed (without operating the remote control), it will continue to flash.

If the Unlock Button is pressed, it will stop the LED flashing.

REMOTE CONTROL

1. The vehicle is supplied with 2 remote controls. Up to 4 remote controls can be programmed to operate the system.

WARNING: If all of the remote controls are lost, the central control unit will have to be replaced.

2. For the system to function correctly all doors, the boot and bonnet must be fully closed.

3. By pressing the Lock Button twice the vehicle is locked and the system is armed without the interior protection. This could be necessary if people or pets are to be left in a locked vehicle for a short period of time.

4. If the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control, but the boot or doors are not opened within 30 seconds; the security system will automatically rearm and lock the vehicle.

5. The interior light will be switched on for approximately 5 seconds when the system is disarmed.

6. The security system has a memory; in the event that the system was activated during your absence, the hazard lights will flash 3 times when the system is disarmed.

WARNING: When the system is armed do not unlock and open the vehicle (doors or boot) by the key method as this will sound the siren.

IN CASE THE REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK

1. Check whether the LED on the remote control lights up. If not, the battery may need replacing.

2. In case the system has lost its synchronisation, press both buttons of the remote control simultaneously for two seconds. This should return the system to normal operation.

3. If another remote control is available for the vehicle, check for its correct operation. If not, contact your local dealer.

REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

If the remote control range becomes shorter or its LED has become weak or dim or refuses to work at all, you must replace the battery of the remote control. Batteries are available from your TOYOTA dealer (part no. 08192-00960).

NOTE: The LED on the remote control will indicate the status of the remote control's battery. The LED will dim BEFORE the remote control becomes inoperable. Changing the remote control's battery will not erase the remote control's code from the main control unit. We recommend replacing the battery at every maintenance period to ensure that the remote control works properly. Under normal conditions, batteries have a life of about one year. The battery fitted at the factory may have a shorter life. There is no need to remove the remote control printed circuit board while replacing the battery.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

1. Remove the screw on the back of the remote control.

2. Remove the rear cover.

3. Take out the old battery.

4. Insert the new battery (CR2025/LITHIUM) with positive (+) side facing to the rear cover.

5. Refit the rear cover and check that the remote control works.

NOTE: Avoid touching the battery with bare fingers, as body moisture may affect contacts and prevent the unit from working properly.

Dispose of the old battery in a safe way.

KNOWN PROBLEMS: The alarm siren itself is fitted under the battery tray, near to the washer bottle. Over time the unit can be exposed to water and cause internal damage. It is also known that when the internal backup battery pack is failing to hold its charge, the alarm siren will make a chirp/tick noise 16 times when arming/disarming the alarm to indicate the failure.

The unit will need to be replaced with the following part no. from Toyota - T01892-42850 - approx £46.
