Answer -
So, it can be alrm problem or the remote handset faulty (or battery low), or generously the vehicle's battery had low voltage.
First try to change the battery in the handset, the try to sysncronise with the car.
To syncronise the controller, please doas it follows:
1: close the vehicle from the driver's side with the key!
2: Wait until the alarm is sharpen.
3: With the unlock button pressed turn the key in the barrel to unlock position, then back. Now release the button.
4: Now with the lock button pressed turn the key to the locked position, and back. Release the button.
Now the key is re-syncronised to the vehicle. You can try to start the engine. If doesn't start, please send me the text what had written to the console.
The final way, is you should try the Emergency Key Access code. It's a 4 digit code, which was written to a security card, try to find tha. In the owners manual there is a correct sequence to activate this code. This code deactivate all the alarm and immobiliser systems, by built by the factory.
If you have problem with that code please reply with your e-mail address please.
AnswerQuotation from workshop manual:
"Emergency Key Access (EKA)
If the vehicle is locked using the remote handset and
loss or failure of the handset occurs, the vehicle can
be unlocked and the alarm disarmed by entering a
four digit code using the key in the driver’s door lock.
The code is either a unique code for the vehicle and
can be found on the security information card or a
default value obtainable from the factory.
EKA procedure - Vehicles up to 96MY
1. Unlock driver’s door with the key.
2. Open the door and the alarm sounder will sound
twice. If the key is inserted in the ignition at this
point and an attempt is made to start the engine,
the engine will not crank and the message
centre will display ’ENGINE DISABLED PRESS
REMOTE OR USE KEY CODE’.
3. Close the driver’s door and ensure that all doors,
tail door and bonnet are closed.
4. Turn the key to the lock position.
NOTE: The code cannot be entered if the
message centre displays ’KEY CODE
LOCKOUT’.
5. Enter the code as follows. At each turn of the
key to the lock or unlock position, the side lamps
warning lamp in the instrument pack will flash to
indicate that the key turn has been recognised.
6. Enter the first digit. If the first digit is 2, turn and
release the key two times in the unlock direction.
7. Enter the second digit. If the second digit is five,
turn and release the key five times in the lock
direction.
8. Enter the third digit. If the third digit is four, turn
and release the key four times in the unlock
direction.
9. Enter the fourth digit. If the fourth digit is two,
turn and release the key two times in the lock
direction.
10. Turn the key to the unlock direction and,
provided that the code has been entered
correctly, all the doors and the tail door will be
unlocked and the alarm will be partially
disarmed.
When the EKA code has been entered, the security
LED will continue to flash in deterrent mode to show
that the alarm is partially disarmed and will be
triggered if the bonnet is opened.
If the EKA code is entered incorrectly, on the final
unlock turn of the key, a mislock will sound and the
remaining doors and the tail door will remain locked
and the alarm partially armed. If five incorrect
attempts are made to enter the code, the BeCM
enters a ten minute ’lockout’ period. Further attempts
to enter the code will cause a mislock to sound each
time the key is turned. During the lockout period, the
message centre displays ’KEY CODE LOCKOUT’.
If either of the front doors are opened while entering
the code, a mislock will sound and the door will need
to be closed and key locked and the code re-entered
from the beginning. This will not count as an incorrect
entry.
With the vehicle in EKA mode, if the remote handset
unlock button is pressed all doors will be unlocked
and the alarm disarmed. The lock button will not
operate while entering the EKA code."
