Alarm Features
Normal Arm Protection
Status LED: The Control Center Status LED flashes as a visual indicator
that your vehicle’s security system is active.
Starter Kill: The Failsafe starter kill relay prevents the engine from
starting
Note May require additional parts and installation
Sensor triggers: The shock sensor can distinguish minor impacts from
major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts causes the system
to emit a Warn-away output. Major impacts caused for example by a
forcible entry attempt, results in a Full Trigger output.
Point of entry triggers: Opening the hood or trunk causes a Full Trig-
ger output, while opening a Door or turning on the Ignition causes
the the siren to chirp three seconds before beginning the Full Trigger
output. This three second delay allows time to disarm and silence the
siren in case of accidental trigger.
Sensor Silent Arm protection
Sensor Warn-away and Sensor Full Trigger activations are defeated.
Point of entry triggers will activate the Full Trigger output.
Full Silent Arm Protection
Sensor Warn-away, Sensor Full Trigger and Point of Entry activations
are defeated. Only the Ignition input will activate the Full Trigger out-
put.

Sensor Warn-away output
When the system sensors detect a Warn-away trigger the siren chirps
and parking lights flash for 3 seconds.
Full Trigger output
An alarm Full Trigger will sound the siren and flash the parking lights
for 30 seconds.
Emergency Override
The following procedure disarms the system when a programmed re-
mote is not available. Number of presses__________
1. Turn the ignition On.
2. Press the control button on the Control Center the correct
number of times (the default is one press).
3. After a few seconds the siren output ceases and the system
is disarmed.
Note As a precaution, if programmed for Passive Arming or Auto
re-arming the system should be placed into Valet Mode until
a remote is available .
Trigger Zone Fault Report
When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of
the alarm trigger zones. Faulty zones (usually caused by dome light
delay or open trunk) are bypassed and reported via the control center
LED, while all other trigger zones remain active and are monitored to
protect the vehicle. Should a faulty zone self correct (dome light turns
off) it becomes active and is then monitored normally.
The siren chirps once again a few seconds following the arming
chirps as an audible alert, the control center LED flashes in groups to
indicate the zone number.
