=== TELTONIKA Immobilizer Purpose ===
=== Purpose and Operation ===
The purpose of the immobilizer '''"TELTONIKA"''' is the prevention of the car theft.  
The '''TELTONIKA IMB5''' is designed for vehicle theft prevention.  
* The driver is identified when the person with the active paired ID card comes inside the communication area.  
* '''Identification:''' The driver is identified automatically when an active, paired ID card is within the communication area.
* If the person has no ID card, the immobilizer regards the vehicle is under unauthorized use and transfers the signal for engine immobilization.
* '''Immobilization:''' If no paired ID card is detected, the system regards the use as unauthorized and immobilizes the engine.
* The system supports up to 5 ID cards.
* '''Authorization Button:''' Depending on setup, the user may also need to press a hidden button 1 or 2 times within 5 seconds of turning the ignition ON.


=== The Set and Components ===
=== ID Card Management ===
The immobilizer includes:
The ID card is an electronic key. It is recommended to keep it separate from the car keys to ensure security in case of key theft.
* '''System Unit:''' An electronic module hidden inside the vehicle.
* '''ID Card:''' An electronic key that should be kept in the driver's pocket or handbag.
* '''Buzzer:''' For acoustic signals and status warnings.
* '''LED Indicator:''' For visual status information.


=== The ID Card ===
==== Changing Operating Modes ====
The ID card is not intended for use as a remote key fob and shall be kept separately from the car keys.
You can change the ID card mode by pressing and holding the button for specific durations:
 
* '''Active Mode (Green LED):''' Card is ON and communicates automatically.
 
* '''Passive Mode (Orange LED):''' Card communicates only when the button is pressed. To start the car, you must press the button.
==== ID Card Modes ====
* '''OFF Mode (Red LED):''' Card is completely disabled to save battery during long storage.
You can change the ID card mode by pressing and holding the button:
* '''Active Mode (Green LED):''' The card constantly communicates with the System Unit. Recommended for daily use.
* '''Passive Mode (Orange LED):''' The card only communicates when the button is pressed. Recommended for long-term storage or battery saving.
* '''OFF Mode (Red LED):''' The card is completely turned off.


==== Battery Replacement ====
==== Battery Replacement ====
* '''Battery type:''' 3V CR2032.
When the battery is low, the system warns the user with '''4 double buzzer signals''' every time the ignition is turned ON.
* '''Life span:''' It is recommended to replace the battery every 12 months.
# Open the ID card case.
* '''Low Battery Warning:''' When the ignition is turned ON, the system warns by a series of 4 double buzzer signals if the ID card battery is low.
# Replace with a new '''CR2032''' battery (ensure correct polarity).
# Close the case firmly.
# Protect the card from rain and snow.


=== System Operation ===
=== Acoustic Signals (Buzzer) ===
==== Identification ====
The buzzer provides essential feedback about the system status:
1. When you approach the car with an active ID card, the system identifies you automatically.
* '''1 short beep:''' ID card identified / System disarmed.
2. If the authorization button is programmed (FN61), you must press it 1 or 2 times within 5 seconds before or after turning ON the ignition.
* '''2 short beeps:''' System armed (after ignition is turned OFF).
* '''4 double beeps:''' Low battery warning in the ID card.
* '''Short beeps (increasing frequency):''' "Anti-carjack" countdown is active (from 25s to 11s left).
* '''Continuous beep:''' Final 10 seconds before engine immobilization.


==== Anti-Carjack Protection ====
=== Anti-Carjack Function ===
If the ID card signal is lost while the ignition is ON (e.g., if the driver is forced out of the car):
If the driver is forced out of the vehicle and the ID card signal is lost while the ignition is ON:
# The system starts a countdown (60s or 120s depending on settings).
# The system starts a countdown (60s or 120s depending on installer settings).
# The buzzer will warn with increasing frequency.
# The buzzer warns the driver with increasing frequency.
# Finally, the engine will be immobilized.
# If no card is detected by the end of the countdown, the engine is safely immobilized.
# To cancel, the ID card must be brought back into range or the emergency PIN must be used.


=== Emergency Overriding (PIN Code) ===
=== Emergency Override (PIN Code) ===
If the ID card is lost or the battery is dead, you can disarm the system using your secret PIN code.
If the ID card is lost or damaged, the system can be disarmed using the secret 4-digit PIN code.


==== PIN Entering Steps (Example 2113) ====
==== How to enter the PIN (Example 2113): ====
# '''Turn Ignition ON:''' The LED starts flashing.
# Turn the ignition ON. The LED starts flashing.
# '''Count Flashes:''' Wait for the LED to flash the number of times corresponding to the first digit.
# Count the flashes for the first digit (e.g., 2 flashes).
# '''Confirm Digit:''' Turn the ignition OFF and then ON again.
# Turn the ignition OFF, then back ON.
# '''Repeat:''' Do this for all 4 digits.
# Count the flashes for the second digit (e.g., 1 flash).
# If entered correctly, the immobilization will be turned OFF.
# Repeat for all 4 digits.
# If correct, the immobilization signal turns OFF.


=== Service Mode ===
=== Service Mode ===
Service mode is used when leaving the car for maintenance.  
Used when leaving the vehicle for maintenance (valet/car wash).
* In this mode, the immobilizer functions are temporarily disabled.
* '''Activation:''' Enter the PIN code. After the last digit, wait for '''quadruple (4) LED flashes'''.
* To activate: Enter the PIN code and wait for the quadruple flashes of the LED.
* In this mode, all security functions are disabled so you do not need to leave the ID card with the car.
