IMPORTANT! In order to provide you with the highest level of security to your
vehicle, this system is equipped with selectable manual override circuitry. It is
possible that you will need to override you security system if the transmitter
becomes lost, or inoperative due to battery failure. Reading the sections on
"Manually Overriding Your System" is necessary to fully understand the procedure
required to enable your vehicle in such situations. In addition, the chart on the last
page of this manual has a section for the particular features and options installed
in your vehicle as well as the override method selected. Although the default
mode is "Valet Switch" operation, the system can be configured for "Custom
Code" operation for enhanced security. Confirm the override mode selected on
the last page of this manual, and familiarize yourself with the section on it's opera-
tion.

bon monoxide fumes which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged expo-
sure occurs. DO NOT remote start the vehicle if it is garaged.
YOUR“CODEHOPPING“TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced
and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current auto-
motive security system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device

128-8712

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 Keeloq Code Hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the
button is pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm
system will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it
is out of range of the vehicle (children playing with your keys),
the transmitter will not operate when you return to the vehicle,
and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply
press button 1, (lock), two times within a one second time pe-
riod. The system will now respond to that transmitter each time
a button is pressed.
NOTE: This system is custom configurable and can be set
up to operate with a number of options controlled from
any transmitter button or button combination. For reference, we
will describe operation assuming that your system is pro-
grammed for separate lock and unlock buttons. Also reference
will be made to the icons as shown on the buttons left.
NOTE: The LCD based remote will be explained in detail further
in this manual See "System Status" described later in this
manual. Consult your installation center if your system has been
configured differently.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for
the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or
both may in fact chirp, or beep.
ARMINGTHE SYSTEM-ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.
2. Press and release Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.
The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
Parking Lights flash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or
hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protec-
tion. If the siren "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/DIS-
ARM CHIRPS" in this manual.
Doors Lock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has
been selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the
system will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE (Must be activated during programming)
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.
2. Press and hold the Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter for 2
seconds.

(Must be activated during programming)
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close and lock all doors, hood lid and
trunk lid.
The 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
will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive arm-
ing cycle will re-start when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive
arming cycle;
The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
Parking Lights flash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and
youshouldrefer to the section titled “ELIMINATINGTHEARM/ DISARM CHIRPS“
in this manual.
Doors 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.
PROTECTIONWHILE THESYSTEMISARMED
Opening any protected door, hood or trunk lid will cause the alarm to imme-
diately 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 trig-
gered zone.
Whenever the system is armed, the 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.
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 armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be
bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be
started.

REMOTEPANICOPERATION
The Lock or Unlock 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 Lock or Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the transmitter
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically
stop after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than the Lock or
Unlock button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be turned off
immediately. The normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended
during the Panic sounding period.
3. During the panic mode, the Lock and Unlock buttons can be used to lock and
unlock the doors, (if the option is installed), however once the unlock/disarm
button is pressed, the vehicle's starter inhibit device, (where installed) will be
disabled allowing the vehicle to start.
NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock or Un-
lock buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors
respectively. While in the panic mode, anytime the Unlock button is
pressed, the panic feature will continue for the allotted 30 seconds,
however, the security system will be disarmed allowing the vehicle to
start.
RFSHOCKSENSORMODESELECTION
The way in which your alarm system reacts to threatening vibrations, created by
attempts to enter the vehicle by breaking a window, is adjustable by the transmitter
immediately after arming. There are 4 modes of operation that can be selected
by the operator:
1. Normal Operation (default mode)
In this mode, any strong vibrations will cause the siren to sound (full
detect) for 30 seconds. Any lesser vibration will cause the siren to emit
about 6 short warn away chirps, (pre-detect).
2. Stage 1 (Omit pre-detect)
In this mode, the warn away chirps created by the lesser vibration will be
deleted. If strong vibration occurs, the siren will sound.
3. Stage 2 (Omit pre & full detect)
In this mode, both the pre-detect stage and the full trigger stage of the sensor
are defeated. The unit will not react to vibration of any magnitude.
NOTE: Shock Sensor Icon Is Displayed On The LCD Panel.
4. Stage 3 (City Mode)
In this mode, the pre-detect chirps will change from six pre-warning tones to
a full 10 seconds of warning chirps.
The full detect trigger duration will be reduced from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
NOTE: Setting the stage of the shock sensor will be effective for one arming
cycle only. Once the system has been disarmed, the very next arming
cycle will cause the sensor to default to the normal operation stage.
To change or adjust the shock sensor, press and release the ARM button of you
keychain transmitter.
1.Within 2 seconds of arming, press and release the ARM button 1 time, to
defeat the pre-detect stage of the shock sensor. (The lights will flash and the
siren will chirp once.)

128-8712

Page10
2.Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 2 times, to
defeat the pre and full detect stages of the shock sensor. (The lights will
flash and the siren will chirp twice.)
3.Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 3 times to
enter the "City Mode" of operation. (The lights will flash and the siren will chirp
three times.)
While under control of the remote start the system can be programmed to allow
you to shunt the shock sensor from the transmitter. If the system has been such
programmed, simply press the lock button of your keychain transmitter anytime
during the remote start cycle. The shock sensor will be shunted for the entire run
cycle and will resume normal operation after the remote start unit shuts off.
Check with your installation center to determine if this feature has been pro-
grammed into your system.
PBLEDSAFETYCONTROLSWITCH
The Push-Button LED control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote
starting function of the system. This recommended whenever the vehicle is being
serviced. To place the system in the service mode:
1) With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off Press and
Hold the PBLED on.
2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.
3) The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes and
continues this pattern until returned to normal mode of operation.
This puts the unit into the R/S Override mode indicating that the remote start is
in the service mode and will not start from RF or any other input Posse or
otherwise.
To Exit R/S Override Mode
1) With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the PBLED on.
2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.
