I'm trying to locate an owner's manual for the car's alarm system.
According to the documentation that came with the car, the alarm system is a Cobra model 8186. There's a little info in the car owner's manual about it, but not much. I'm sure it can do other things. You press the small button twice to disarm the motion sensor, but what happens if you only press once? Does that do something? And I know there are options available from Cobra, like a window closure module, but will it work with this model?
Cobra isn't sold in the US, I think, but I've done an online search, and the Cobra website does come up. Unfortunately, this model isn't listed, and besides, the info on the website is fairly useless. I'm only able to find one or 2 UK retailers who even sell the system.
What I really want is the alarm system owner's manual. That should give a better pic of what it can do. Anyone have an idea where I might find that?
Here's a website that lists the features:
Cobra 8186
Can anyone explain these features?
- Automatic re-arming in case of accidental disarming
- Perimetric protection by contact
- Pre-set ultrasonic volumetric protection
- Hyperfrequency volumetric sensor (optional)
- Controlled comfort windows closure
- Controlled windows closure for cars without built in comfort feature (optional)
- Doors closure control (this isn't central locking)
- Courtesy light operation when disarming (I guess Lotus didn't use this)
- Accessories output by remote control
