Your Remote Start Alarm System has many features and available options
some of which are selected at time of installation. Consult your installing
dealer for options that may have been installed and are not listed.
ARMING THE SYSTEM:
1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
2. Press and release the Arm button of your key chain transmitter one time.
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash
mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you
have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
NOTE: If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or
hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If
the siren "chirped" 3 times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed
dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a
open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the
system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming,
then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section titled
"ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.
SILENT ARMING:
1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
2. Press and hold the Arm button of your key chain transmitter for 2 seconds.
The parking lights will flash once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to
flash slowly confirming the system is armed. The siren will not chirp. If you
have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
NOTE: If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or
hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If
the siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed
dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a
open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the
system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming,
then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section titled
"ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

ARMING THE SYSTEM:
If the passive arming feature has been selected:
1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
The dash mounted LED will 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 end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will
chirp once, and the dash 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. Refer to the section on "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm
Chirps" shown later in this manual. Passive door locking is a selectable
feature. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors
may or may not lock passively depending upon the setup during installation.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
Opening any protected entry point, 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 continue to monitor all protected entry points. If
the thief left the door opened, the System will sound for six 30 second cycles
then shut down, isolate the triggered zone and continue to protect all other
zones.
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This
serves as a visual deterrent to a potential thief. This LED is a very low current
light emitting diode, and will not cause the battery to drain even if left
unattended for long periods of time.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the
full siren sounding period. Optional - whenever the system is triggered, the
interior courtesy light will flash for the full siren sounding period.
Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, and the
vehicle will not start with the ignition key.
Whenever the system is armed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause
the shock detector to trigger the alarm. Any lesser impact will cause the pre-
detect stage of the shock sensor to emit a few short series of warning tones
from the siren.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM:
As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Disarm button on the
keychain transmitter. The parking lights will flash 2 times, the siren will chirp 2
times, and the dash mounted LED will turn off.
If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock.
If you have the optional entry illumination circuit installed, the interior light will
turn on for 30 seconds or until the ignition key is switched on.
NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the
dash mounted LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is
rearming. Opening any door will suspend the automatic arming.
If the parking lights flashed 3 times, and the siren chirps 4 times, this
indicates that the alarm system was triggered during your absence. Before
turning on the ignition key, examine the dash mounted LED's flash pattern.
The number of flashes identifies the triggered zone. For additional
information, refer to INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS found later in this
manual.
If the siren did not sound upon disarm, then the chirps have been turned off.
Refer to the section titled ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS.
NOTE: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock
transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the
unlock button a second time will cause all doors to unlock. If your transmitter
has a sperate lock unlock buttons, pressing the unlock button anytime after
the first unlock command will cause all the vehicle doors to unlock.
SILENT DISARMING:
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the disarm button of your key
chain transmitter for 2 seconds.
The parking lights will flash 2 times, and the dash mounted LED will turn off
confirming that the system is disarmed. The siren will not chirp. If you have the
optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock. If you have the
optional entry illumination circuit installed, the interior light will turn on for 30
seconds or until the ignition key is switched on.
NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the
dash mounted LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is
rearming. Opening any door will suspend the automatic arming.If the parking
lights flashed 3 times, and the siren chirps 4 times, this indicates that the

transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the
unlock button a second time will cause all doors to unlock. If your transmitter
has a sperate lock unlock buttons, pressing the unlock button anytime after
the first unlock command will cause all the vehicle doors to unlock.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING:
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your
security system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than
the disarm button. This action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully
armed and protected. This feature is particularly useful if you are aware of
children playing near your vehicle that may accidently trigger your security
system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding.
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 1 time...pause, 1 time...pause etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made by impact or a strong vibration that the shock sensor
detected. Check the vehicle for possible damage to the glass or body panels.
If the LED flashes 2 times...pause, 2 times...pause etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to open the hood, trunk, or by an accessory triggering
device. Check the vehicle for indications of forced entry to these openings.
If the LED flashes 3 times...pause, 3 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.

VALET SWITCH:
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions,
eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage
mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all alarm functions are
bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door locks will
remain operational.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED
turns on solid. The system will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the pushbutton switch
any time the ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet OFF position. This
will 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 by-pass the alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet pushbutton switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (by-passed) 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 # 10
must be selected for the Custom Code Option. Consult your installation

128-6530
7 of 10
Page 7
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 siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing
and releasing the pushbutton switch from 1up 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 pushbutton 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 system will report back the newly entered
code, by flashing the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the
units digit. The system will report the new code three times with a one second
pause between each code, then the system will begin arming. 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 system 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 system will revert
back to the last successfully 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.
NOTE: The siren will sound.

128-6530

2. Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
3. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch OFF then ON.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF then ON and start the vehicle.
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.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal arm & disarm chirps by holding the
transmitter button slightly longer when arming or 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, move 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.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is disconnected then reconnected, the system will
return to the default setting of chirps ON. Repeat the above procedure to
eliminate the arm/disarm chirps.
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION:
The Lock or Unlock button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a
panic switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,
1. Press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3
or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the
transmitter again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will
automatically stop after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than
the Lock or Unlock button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be
turned off immediately. The normal function of this transmitter button will be
suspended during the Panic sounding period.
NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock, or the
Page 8

Unlock buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors
respectively. While in the panic mode, anytime the unlock button is pressed,
the panic feature will continue for the allotted 30 seconds, however, the
security system will be disarmed allowing the vehicle to start.
SAFETY (Red Handled ) CONTROL SWITCH:
The control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function
of your Remote Start system. To disable the system, move the red handled
control switch to the OFF position.
