YOUR "Code Hopping" TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive security
system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber,
which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re transmit at a
later time to disarm your system.
Your code hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed, so
when a thief grabs then retransmits your signal, the alarm system will not respond.
Ifyour transmitterbutton ispressed morethan fiftytimes whileit isout ofrange ofthe vehicle
(children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when you return to the
vehicle, and will need to be realigned to the receiver. To do this, simply press the lock button
two times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter
each time a button is pressed.
NOTE: Yoursystem hastheoption ofusinga siren,thevehicle horn,orboth forthesounding
device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or both may in fact chirp, or beep.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
2. Press and release the Lock button on the keychain transmitter.
þRed dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þParking Lights flash one time.
þSiren and or Horn sounds one chirp.
If the siren/hornsounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or hood lid ajar.
Simplyclose theopenedentry pointto providefullprotection. If thesiren"chirped"
three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit
has been programmed and the system detected a open entry point after the
learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct the
problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction. If the
siren/horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off, and
you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “
in this manual.
oDoors Lock - Optional
oHeadlight Illumination - Optional
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
2. Press and hold the Lock button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds.

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE ( AUTOMATIC )
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, close and lock all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.
þRed dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive
arming has begun.
2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle willimme-
diately suspend automatic arming, and the 30 second passive arming cycle will restart
when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle;
þRed dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þParking Lights flash one time.
þSiren sounds one chirp
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have
been turned off and you should refer to the section titled
“ELIMINATINGTHE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.
oDoors Lock - Optional
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The
alarm can be programmed to allow the doors to lock only when
arming using the keychain transmitter, and they will not
automatically lock during passive arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
þOpening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to
immediately sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop
andcontinue tomonitor allprotected entrypoints. Ifthe thiefleft adoor opened,
the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that
triggered zone.
þWhenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted LED indicator will slowly
flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very
low current bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when
left unattended for extended periods.
þWhenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the
full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
oOptional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be
bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be
started.
þAny mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short
series of warning tones.
þAny strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the
full 30 second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock button on the keychain trans-
mitter.
þRed dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the LED will start
flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming automatically. Open any
door to suspend the automatic arming.

system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button. This
action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This feature is
particularlyuseful ifyou areaware ofchildren playingnear yourvehicle thatmay accidently
trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding without
disarming your alarm.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking
lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe the red
dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered.
ŒIf the LED is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device that
may have been added to the system.
•Ifthe LEDis flashingtwo times...pause...twotimes...pause...etc., thenan intrusion
attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system, or
to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing
feature.
ŽIf the LED is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an intru-
sion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory and will only be
erased when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET SWITCH
Thevalet switchallows youto temporarilybypass allalarm functions,eliminating theneed to
hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in
valetmode, all alarmfunctions arebypassed, howeverthe remotepanic featureand remote
door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed
either by using your keychain transmitter, or by operating the manual override sequence.
1. From the disarmed condition, turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED, (Light Emitting
Diode) turns on. The LED will remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the push button switch any time the
ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the system to the NON VALET mode, after servicing, to
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or
its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override as
indicated on the last page of this manual, to by-pass the alarm system.
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the disarmed mode. You can now start and
operate the vehicle normally.

Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. Youmay
elect to enter the VALET mode until repair or replacement of the transmitter, after
which, returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary. To do so, see item
3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found and defeated, this security system allows the con-
sumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security. To take
advantage of this option, programmable feature # 10 must be selected for the Custom Code
Option. Consultyour installationcenterfor programmingdetails. Thesystem comesfrom the
factorywith apre-programmed overridecode of11. Tochange thisdefault overridecode, do
the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and releasing the
pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and releasing the
pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by flashing
the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report the
new code three times with a one second pause between each code, then the system will
beginarming. If theLED flashpattern reportsthepreviously storedcode, thenew codewas
not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through 7 above considering the following.
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0
(Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.
Custom Code Programming Example:
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do the
following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set the tenths
digit.

(As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)
6. Within10 secondsof thelast pressofthe pushbutton,turn theignition switchoffthen on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set the units
digit.
(As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED flash pattern.
You will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause. This
pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been accepted and
stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 8, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered, this
indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat steps 1
through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptabledigits 10thsor unitsare 1through 9. Theunit willnotrecognize a0 (Zero),or no
digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default override
code of 11 is in the system's memory.
1) Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.
Note:The siren will sound.
2) Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
3) Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4) Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
5) Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.
NOTE: Ifyou havechangedthe programmedoverride codethensubstitute your newcode
tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm
ordisarm thesystem simplybyholding theARM /DISARMbutton fortwo seconds.If youfind
the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently,
eliminating the need to hold the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. To do this,
1. Turn the ignition key on then off.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch three times.
3. Ifthe chirpswere onbefore youstarted,then youwill hear2 chirpsindicatingthey have
been turned off.
If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating they have
been turned on.
NOTE: Whenever the chirps are by-passed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp
