CONGRATULATIONS! Your purchase of this state-of-the-art security system expresses a
deepconcernforthesecurityofyourvehicle,itscontents,andpassengers. Tofullyappreciate
the many functions and safeguards incorporated in this system, please spend a few minutes
reading this manual. You may find unexpected features that could mean the difference
between “protected” and “fully protected”
IMPORTANT ! In order to provide the highest possible level of security to your vehicle, this
system is equipped with selectable manual override circuitry. It is possible that you will need
to manually override your 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. Valet Switch manual override is pre-selected from the factory, however, the
system can be configured for "Custom Code" operation. Confirm the override mode selected
on the last page of this manual, and familiarize yourself with the section on it's operation.

CARFINDER:
As an added convenience, your system has the ability to flash the parking lights, (If this
option has been added), on command from the transmitter. This feature is particularly
useful to help locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot. To access this feature, simply
press and hold the Lock or Unlock button of your keychain transmitter for three seconds.
This mode will cancel automatically after 30 seconds, or you can cancel it from the
transmitter by pressing the same transmitter button again for three seconds. This mode
can also be canceled immediately, by pressing any button other than the lock or unlock
button.
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass your system's security functions, eliminat-
ing the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the
system is in valet mode, the starter inhibit feature, if installed, is bypassed, however the
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 manually overriding the system.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet push-button switch until the dash mounted LED turns
on solid indicating that the valet mode has been entered successfully.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the push-button switch any
time the ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to exit the valet mode 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 bypass the alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet push-button switch.
The system will enter the (bypassed) mode. You can now start and operate the vehicle
normally. Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the
consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security. To take
advantage of this option, programmable feature # 6 must be selected for the Custom Code
Option. Consult your installation center for programming details. The system comes from

the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To change this default override
code, 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 lights will flash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and releasing the
push-button 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
push-button 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
begin arming (If Passive Arming Has Been Selected). If the LED flash pattern reports the
previously stored code, the new code was 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 success-
fully stored code.
Custom Code Programming Example:
To Change the code from the factory preassigned code of 11 to “52” you would do the follow-
ing:
1. Disarm/Unlock 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 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. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the push-button, turn the ignition switch off then 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
-4-

pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been accepted and
stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 7, 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:
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 success-
fully 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.
2) Within 5 seconds, press and release the push-button switch 1 time.
3) Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4) Within 5 seconds, press and release the push-button switch 1 time.
5) Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle. (If optional parking light relay
was installed, the lights will flash twice.)
Note: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your new code
tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
