State of California AIR RESQOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—65 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code S & $ RESEARCH AND ELECTRONICS "SURE SAFE" AUTO ANTI—THEFT SYSTEM Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Section 39515 of the Health and Safety Code; IT IS ORDERED AND RESQOLVED: That the installation of the "Sure Safe" auto anti—theft system, manufactured by S & S Research and Electronics of 6308 Woodman Avenue, Yan Nuys, California, 91401 has been found to not reduce the effectiveness of required motor vehicle poliution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for installation on vehicle ignition systems. The device is a solid state unit, consisting of resistors, transistors, and a relay, and is installed at the primary. side of the ignition system. The device when activated will disable the engine after 30 seconds or less time delay by grounding the negative side of the coil. The engine can be started again after de—activating the device. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for this device will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different than those listed by the vehicle manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the per— formance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of this device using an identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF THE "SURE SAFE AUTO ANTI—THEFT SYSTEM". No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by Air Resources Board" may be made wth respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication. Section 17500 of the Business and Professions Code makes untrue or mis— leading advertising unlawful, and Section 17534 makes violation punishable as a misdemeanor.

(a) No person shall install, sell, offer for sale, or adver— tise, or, except— in an application to the State board for certification of a device, represent, any device as a motor vehicle pollution control device for use on any used motor vehicle unless that device has been‘ certified by the State board. No person shall sell, offer for sale, advertise, or represent any motor vehicle pollution control device as a certified device which, in fact, is not a certified device. Any violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor."

State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD May 6, 1976 Staff Report Evaluation of the S & S Research and Electronics "Sure Safe" Auto Anti—Theft System Introduction $ & S Research and Electronics of 6308 Woodman Ave., Van Nuys, California 91401 has submitted an application requesting an exemption from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Motor Vehicle Code for the "Sure Safe" auto anti theft system for installation on the ignition system (See Exhibit A.) II. System Description and Function The device is a solid state unit which consist of resistors, tran— sistors, and relay incapsulated in a housing; It is installed at the primary side of the ignition system (Exhibit B). The device when turned on is activated after the engine has been started. After 30 seconds or less time delay the unit will disable the engine by grounding the negative side of the coil primary. The engine can be restarted again after de—activating the device. III. System Evaluation The applicant did not submit any emission data indicating the device will not have any adverse effect on the emission control system.

Since the device acts as a switch only and does not affect the operating characteristics of the ignition system it is the staff‘s judgement that an emissions test is not necessary. The ARB Laboratory tested the operation of the system and was satisfied that the device operates as claimed by the applicant. The installation of the device, however, could cause some safety hazard and this con— cern was brought to the attention of the California Highway Patrol. IV. Conclusion and Recommendation Based on the evaluation of the device and the installation instructions, it is the opinion of the staff that the "Sure Safe" auto anti—theft system would not adversely affect the performance or operation of the OEM polilution control system. The staff recommends that S & S Research and Electronics be granted an exemption from Vehicle Code Section 27156 for their "Sure Safe" . auto anti—theft system.

EXHIBIT A $ & S RESEARCH AND ELECTRONICS €308 WOODMAN AVE., SUITE 218, VAN NUYS, CA 91401« (213) 781—3033 3/19/16 ATTENTION: JOEN CH®.: S&S Research and electronics has introduced in té the market a silent Anti—Auto theft device under the trade name of "Sure Sefe". This device is a solid étate vnit, when turned on is activated after the engine has been started, either by key or hot wire. After a 20 second delay the unit inabl;s ;;he engines ignition coil by grounding the minus side of the coils secondary winding. With the coils secondery winding grounded {by the anti—theft unit) the coils magnetic field can'not colapse. Vith the magnetic field held in a.stable state the primary winding can not produce tre high voltagenceded to fire the spark pliugs. Thus the engine stops in the same manner as if you were to turn the key off after running the engine for 20 seconds. Since no wires aree% cut, removed, Or r_eplaced from the manufactures original ignition systm the enti—theft unit does not add to, ;31‘ take away or effect fihe normal performance of toe engines ignition system, — mor any of it‘s smog control system. Even if the anti—theft unit should fail physically or electronicaly the ignition system would still function normally. / "We Serve with Quality"

Enclesed is a copy of the instalation instructions as you will note they are simple aend straignt forward. We believe that our unit does not violate any of the sections set down by Bill #27156 of the Air Resource Board. We would appreciate a letter from you letting us know if we are in vwiolation with the Air Resource Board. Thank You. PTiz flfé r Donn La Due .o Vice President in charge and engineering «0. htdic
