ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)
If the passive arming feature has been selected:
Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.
The dash mounted LED will immediately begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30 second
passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash rapidly, then you have
left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point will allow the arming cycle will
begin. If any entry point is opened during the 30 second arming cycle, arming will be
suspended. When all entry points are closed, the arming cycle will begin again. At the
endof the30 seconds,the parkinglights willflash once,the sirenwillchirp onceand thedash
mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If the siren did not
sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off. Please refer to the sectiontitled
"EliminatingtheArm/Disarm Chirps"later inthis manual. Passive doorlocking is a selectable
feature. Ifyou have the optional doorlock/unlock circuit installed, the doorsmay or may not
lockpassively dependentupon thesetup duringinstallation.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
Whenever the system is armed, opening any protected entry point, (i.e.; hood, trunk, or
doors), will cause the alarm to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking
lights will flash for 30 seconds, then stop and reset to continue to monitor all protected
entry points. If the thief happened to leave the entry point open, the system will sound for
six consecutive 30 second cycles then shut down and reset, isolating the triggered zone,
whilecontinuing tomonitor and protectall other zones.
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This serves as a
visualdeterrent toa potentialthief. This LED isa verylow current lightemitting diodeand will
notcause the battery to draineven if left unattended for longperiods of time.

VALET/PROGRAM/MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH
Thevaletswitch allowsyou totemporarily preventthe UNITfrom arming,eliminating theneed
to hand your keychain transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the
system is in the valet mode, all alarm functions are by-passed, however the remote panic
featureandthe optionalremote doorlock/unlock willremain operational.
To enter the valet mode:

2.Turn the ignitionswitch to the "on"position.
3.Within 10 seconds of step 2, flip the valet switch tothe "on" position.

Page 4
Thedashmounted LEDwill turnon solidindicating thatthe valetmodehas successfullybeen
entered.
To return to the normal, (alarm mode), operation,move the valet switch to the "off" position
any time the ignition switch is in the on position.
Note: In the event that you lose your keychain transmitter or the transmitter fails to oper-
ate the alarm system, the valet switch can be used to disarm the alarm. This is referred to
as the "Manual Override". To disarm the alarm:
1. Open the door with the vehicle door key. (The siren will sound)
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position.
3. Flip the valet/override switch to the "on" position.
The system will disarm and the siren will stop sounding, allowing the engine to be started,
and the vehicle to be operated normally. Always remember to move the valet switch back
to the "off" position to allow the passive arming and optional starter interrupt features to be
operable the next time you park the vehicle.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNAL
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3
times. Enter the vehicle and
before turning on the ignition switch, observe the LED flash
pattern.
If the LED flashes two times...pause, two times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to open the hood or trunk, or an impact or a strong vibration was applied that the
optional shock sensor detected. Check the vehicle for indications of forced entry to these
openings, or signs of glass breakage or body damage.
If the LED flashes three times...pause, three times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indications of forced entry.
Note: The LED intrusion warning indications are stored in the system's memory and will
be erased when the ignition switch is turned on.
ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal arm & disarm chirps by holding the transmitter
button slightly longer when arming and disarming. This will prevent the siren chirps for
one arm or disarm cycle. If you find this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these chirps
permanently,
1. Start with the valet switch in the "off" position.
2. Turn the ignition switch "on" then "off".
3. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, flip the valet switch "on", "off", "on", "off",
"on", "off".
4. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating that
the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will emit one
short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.
