Red dash mounted L.E.D. begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive
arming has begun.

PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
Opening 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 and continue to monitor all
protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30
second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted L.E.D. indicator will slowly flash.
This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The L.E.D. is a very low current
bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for
extended periods.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
Optional - Whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy lights will flash for the
full 30 second alarm cycle.
Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief
should choose to ignore the siren/horn, the vehicle can not be started.
Any strong impact to the vehicle will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 second alarm
cycle.
Any mild impact to the vehicle will cause the alarm to sound a short series of warning
tones.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain
transmitter.
Red dash mounted L.E.D. turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the L.E.D. will
start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re arming automatically.
Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. to identify
which zone was triggered.
Siren / Horn sounds two chirps.
If the siren/horn sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which
zone was triggered.
If the siren/horn did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been
turned off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE
ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.
Doors Unlock - Optional
Courtesy Light - Optional
Interior courtesy lights turn on for 30 seconds, or until the ignition key is
switched on.

SILENT DISARMING
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain
transmitter for 2 seconds.
Red dash mounted L.E.D. turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the L.E.D. will
start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re arming automatically.
Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. to identify
which zone was triggered.
Siren/Horn does not sound.
If the siren and or horn sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. and refer to
the INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify
which zone was triggered.
Doors Unlock - Optional
Courtesy Light - Optional
Interior courtesy lights turn on for 30 seconds, or until the ignition key is
switched on.
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/horn 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 L.E.D. to identify which zone was triggered.
If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to the optional shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device that
may have been added to the system.
If the L.E.D. is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an 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.
If the L.E.D. 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 / SYSTEM OVERRIDE SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to
hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet
mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door
locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode;
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted L.E.D. will turn
on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position any
time the ignition is on.
In the event that you lose your keychain transmitter, or if the transmitter fails to disarm the
system, the valet switch can be used to disarm the alarm. Open the vehicle’s door ( the alarm will
sound ). Turn the ignition key on, and move the valet switch to the on position. The alarm will
disarm, and the vehicle can now be started.
NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will ensure that
the vehicle remains protected at all times.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or
disarm the system simply by holding the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. If you find 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. Start with the valet switch in the off position, then turn the ignition key on then off.
2. Within 10 seconds, move the valet switch to on then off three times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating they
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: If the siren/horn chirps two times, regardless of the valet switch operation as described
above, then the horn and siren chirps have been turned off via programming features7&8.
Contact your installation center for information on how to reinstate the chirp feature through
programming.
NOTE : Whenever the chirps are by - passed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp defec-
tive zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to you that something
has happened, they cannot be eliminated.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The ARM / DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for
use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,
1. Press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the transmitter
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop
after 30 seconds.
NOTE : All normal transmitter functions operate in the panic mode.
ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION ( CHANNEL 2 )
This security system has an additional feature that can be connected to a number of different
optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this channel are;
Remote Trunk Release
Remote Car Starter
To activate the optional accessory, press and hold Button 2 on the keychain transmitter for 4
seconds.
