Immobilised or not?

[MaRkY172]

Hi guys,

 

Just a quick question and sorry if it's in the wrong place but couldn't locate security/alarms part of the forum. My remote central locking fobs dont work (probably sender unit malfunction) and I am having to lock my car by pressing the inside lock doors button next to the electric windows buttons. Obviously the alarm isnt setting when I do this but my question is whether the immobiliser automatically kicks in when (or shortly after) the doors are locked? I am planning to get it looked at soon but would ike to know for the meantime?

 

Thanks
