Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security system. This system has been designed to provide years of
trouble-free operation. By carefully reading this guide prior to
using your system, you will maximize the use of this product and
its features.
Your vehicle security system has no specific maintenance require-
ments. The remote transmitter is powered by a lightweight 3-volt
lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal
use. When the battery begins to weaken, the LED on the remote
transmitter will dim and you will notice reduced operating range

Transmitter Functions
This system is programmable, making it possible to assign any trans-
mitter button to any specific receiver function. The remote initially
comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be
customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instruc-
tions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration remote.

Using Your System
The transmitter buttons indicated in this manual correspond to a
standard configuration transmitter, unless otherwise specified.
You can arm the security system by pressing for one second.
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound (chirp)
and the parking lights will flash once. If the power door locks are
controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. Once armed, the
LED system status indicator will flash once per second to indicate
that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a
second chirp after arming and notice that the LED system status
indicator is flashing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass
Notification. Bypass Notification is described in detail in the
Diagnostics section of this manual.
Your security system can also be programmed for Passive Arming.
With Passive Arming, the system automatically arms itself 30 sec-
onds after the ignition has been turned off and the last door has
been closed. During the 30-second Passive Arming countdown, the
LED system status indicator will flash twice as fast as it does when
the system is armed. If the system is programmed for Passive
Arming, care must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked
in the vehicle.
NOTE: If any protected entry point, such as a door or switch-protected
trunk or hood, is open, Passive Arming will not engage. Additionally, each

time a sensor is triggered during the Passive Arming countdown, the
countdown starts over.
Arming your security system protects your vehicle to the following
degrees:
■Light impacts trigger a warn-away response, causing the siren
to chirp and the parking lights to flash for a few seconds.
■Heavy impacts trip a trigger sequence, which consists of the
siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing
for 30 seconds.
■If a door is opened, the siren immediately starts chirping and
the parking lights start flashing to provide an instant
response. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a
continuous blast. This two-stage progressive response allows
you time to disarm the security system with your remote
transmitter, in case the door is inadvertently opened while
the system is armed.
■Turning on the ignition key triggers the same two-stage pro-
gressive response as opening a door.
■The fault-proof starter interrupt prevents the vehicle’s starter
from cranking.
Press to disarm the security system when it is already armed.
If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also
unlock. Disarming is confirmed when the parking lights flash twice
and the siren emits two chirps. The LED system status indicator will
also stop flashing. The siren chirping either four or five times when
Disarming

disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the
Diagnostics section of this guide.
If your transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm
your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without a trans-
mitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where
the Valet switch is located. Be sure to check with your installer at
the time of installation for the location of the Valet switch.
To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition key on and
press the Valet switch within
15 seconds. The system should
now disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited
too long to press the Valet switch; turn the ignition off and repeat
the process.
Location of Valet Switch_________________________________
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can press
for 1.5 seconds to trigger Panic Mode on your security system and
attract attention. The siren will sound and the parking lights will
flash for 30 seconds. To stop the Panic Mode at any time, press
again.
