Upgraded BCM; which includes:

Remote deadlocking via remote key (two lock button presses within ten seconds).

Battery saver feature; turns off all internal lamps after one hour of the ignition being switched off.

This feature inc ludes a pre- delivery mode which sets the tim er to a shorter period of three m inutes until the vehic le

has travelled above 20km/h for a cumulative period of 30 m inutes. After this period, the battery saver timer sets to

one hour.

The standing current in the BCM has also been lowered from 18mA to 4mA.

Key off courtesy lamp; courtesy lamp comes on for 30 seconds when the ignition is switched off.

6. SERIAL NUMBERS

The complete vehicle and various components of

the vehicle are identified by number plates or

numbers stamped into the part. It is essential that

when compiling warranty claims or product and

field reports, the vehicle identif ication num ber ( VIN)

is quoted in conjunction with the identification

number of the component affected.

6.1 LOCATION OF IDENTIFICATION PLATES

Identification plates are attached to the upper right

side of the dash panel, front radiator s upport panel,

behind the bumper facia, and under the windshield

lower left corner, refer to Fig. 0A-.
