Features and Benefits of the Code Alarm CA-130TM
Two Easy-to-Use Weather-Resistant Remote Controls
The remote controls included with the Code Alarm CA-130TM utilize
durable, moisture resistant cases and sealed rubber buttons for
reliability and long life. Rolling code technology prevents the
transmitter signals from being duplicated. The button functions are
clearly labeled to make the Code Alarm CA-130TM simple to operate.
All Entrances Protected
Opening any door or entrance protected by the security system
triggers the alarm’s 125db siren (or vehicle horn) and flashes the
vehicle parking lights.
Starter Disable
The Code Alarm CA-130TM protects your vehicle from theft by
disabling the starter when the system is armed.
IT-sTM Interior Theft Sensor
This patented sensor uses infra-red technology to reliably detect
vehicle impact associated with attempted intrusion. The IT-s sensor
guards against vehicle body damage, and theft of the vehicle’s
equipment (such as airbags) and personal belongings.
Remote Keyless Entry
The Code Alarm CA-130TM conveniently locks and unlocks the
vehicle’s doors and opens the trunk or hatch (if equipped and
connected) by remote control.*
Personal Protection Features
Remote Panic Alarm, Headlight Control, Illuminated Entry,
and Car Finder are among an array of features that enhance
personal safety. **May require additional componets and/or labor
Interior Status Indicator
The bright-blue warning light is an effective visual deterrent to a
would-be thief.
PowerRangeTM Antenna
This long-range antenna allows you to operate the Code Alarm CA-
130TM from distances of up to 1/8mile.
E-Code Coded Override System
If this feature is enabled, it will allow you to enter a personal 4-digit
code that only you will know. This will be used for overriding the
system in the case of an emergency or a lost transmitter.
*If vehicle is equipped with power door locks and they are connected to the alarm system by your installer.

** ’Siren’ also refers to the vehicle horn if it is used as the alarm sounding device.*
†Ifyouhavechosen the Silent Arming Option, the siren willnotsoundwhen arming or disarming until the

Arming the Security System
To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all doors, then press* the
LOCK button. The siren** will “chirp” twice†and the parking lights will
flash twice, indicating the system is armed. The doors will also lock at
this time (if equipped and connected). The status indicator (blue
warning light on the dash) will blink steadily, once per second.
Pre-arm Mode
If the siren chirps and the parking lights flash only once, this indicates
that the vehicle courtesy light is on, or that an entrance is not closed
securely. Check to see that doors, hood, and trunk are properly
closed. Once all entrances are secured (and the courtesy light is off),
the system will chirp / flash again. The system is now fully armed.
(If the entrance is not secured within 4 minutes, the system will arm
and ignore the unsecured entrance until it is closed.)
Disarming the Security System
To disarm the system, press the UNLOCK button. The siren will chirp
and the parking lights will flash once, and the doors will unlock. The
courtesy light will turn on for 1 minute, or until the vehicle is started.
Attempted Intrusion Identification
If the siren chirps four times when disarming, this indicates that the
system was triggered in your absence. The status indicator will also
flash rapidly. Perform the following operation to determine the protected
zone that triggered the system:
After disarming, press the
emergency override button.
The siren will chirp to indicate
the cause of the alarm trigger:
1 chirp IT-s Interior Theft Sensor
2 chirps Door
3 chirps Hood
4 chirps Trunk/Optional Sensors

occurs while the system is armed:
• Any protected entrance is opened
• The vehicle ignition is turned on
• The vehicle is jolted hard enough to signal the impact sensor

arm, awaiting the next intrusion attempt. To stop the siren while
keeping the system armed and doors locked, press the LOCK button
while the system is triggered.

System Maintenance
Changing the Remote Control Battery
The 12-volt alkaline battery (GP-23A) supplied in your remote control
should last approximately one year, depending on usage. When the
battery begins to weaken, you will notice a decrease in range, or the
distance from your vehicle that your remote transmitter will operate.
Follow the instructions below to change the remote transmitter battery.
1.Insert the edge of a coin into the slot at the side of the remote
control. Twist the coin to pry the remote control halves apart.
2.Remove the old batteries and replace with new ones.
Be sure to observe the (+) and (-) signs in the battery compartment.
3.Carefully snap the case halves back together, then test the
remote control.
