Immobilizing a vehicle

Activate a vehicle's immobilizer (if hardware accessory installed)

In order to activate the immobilizer of a vehicle, the vehicle must have been stationary for at least 10 minutes.

Only after this time will the blocking command be taken into account.

1. Click on the icon of the vehicle concerned.

2. In the DEVICES widget, click on "Asset Relay."

3. Confirm the activation of the immobilizer.

When the technical conditions are met and the immobilizer is activated: the colored dot will turn RED: the vehicle will not be able to start.

Release a vehicle (deactivate the immobilizer)

Proceed in the same way: the disc will change from RED to GREEN: the vehicle can be started.

device disabled: vehicle free

device activated: vehicle immobilized

Only the Manager and authorized Supervisors can activate the Relay (see SETTINGS > MANAGEMENT OF ACCESS RIGHTS  > ALLOCATION OF RIGHTS)

Control from the Optimum Connect mobile application

Select Vehicle List from the menu. Select the vehicle concerned, and its file will open. Move the button to Deactivate or Activate. 

Relay use case:

I send the blocking command and :

1. The vehicle is moving or stopped, engine running (ignition ON)   the blocking will take place 10 minutes after the next OFF contact. If the vehicle restarts before the 10 minutes, the procedure will be postponed after the next stop, and so on until the vehicle is stopped for more than 10 minutes.

2. The vehicle has been stopped ( ignition OFF) for less than 10 minutes in the GSM and GPS coverage area   the blocking will be effective after 10 minutes of stop.

3. The vehicle has been stopped ( ignition OFF) for 10 minutes in the GSM and GPS coverage area   the blocking is effective immediately (time of sending the SMS).
