details.
If the system is not armed manually, by the user, the system will arm automatically when:
1. The ignition key is turned off.
2. One minute has elapsed and all doors are closed.
The siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash two (2) times to indicate that the
system is armed, protectingyour vehicle.
The siren only chirps one time when I try to arm the system...
If the siren only chirps one time when arming the system, check the status indicator.
• If the status indicator is off, there Is a door, hood, trunk or hatch open. The system will
arm after that opening is closed (see "Arming the System When A Protected Entry
Point
Is Open" page 5).

REMOTE CONTROL PANIC ALARM
When activated the remote control panic alarm will sound the siren continuously and flash
the parking lights for 30 seconds.
To activate the panic alarm, press the button(s) indicated on the remote control transmitter
operating instruction card. The panic alarm can be shut off by pressing any button on the
remote control transmitter. The panic alarm can be activated when the security system Is
armed or disarmed.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch is used for turning the
valet mode on and off. Valet mode
prevents the security system from arming,
yet allows the convenience functions (door
lock &unlock, etc.) to operate normally.
Valet mode is useful when valet parking,
fueling
or servicing your vehicle.
To use the valet mode, disarm the security system and
toggle the valet switch to the on position.
The status Indicator will begin blinking In a double flash
pattern to confirm securitysystem ;s in valet mode.
To re-enter the normal operating mode, toggle the
valet switch to the
off position.
The status Indicator will tum off, Indicating the system

is now in the normal operating mode. Turn the Ignition ON then OFF to reset the
automatic arming timeror arm the system using the remote control transmitter.
OVERRIDE/PROGRAMMING BUTTON
:
The Override/Programming button is a hidden push button switch that can
be used to disarm the security system if your remote control transmitter is
lost
or stolen. However, the override/programming button is morecommonly
used forprogramming new remote control transmitters to the system (see
"Adding and Deleting Remote Control Transmitter Codes" on the remote
control transmitter operating instruction card).
. To prevent unauthorized use of the override/programming button, the ignition key is also
needed to disarm the system
or program transmitters.
Disarming system without the remote control transmitter

SECURITY FEATURES
HOW THE SECURITY SYSTEM PROTECTS YOUR VEHICLE:
When the security system Is'armed:
1. The visual status indicator flashes once per second to creating apowerful theft
deterrent.
2. The engine will not start. The security system's "starter interrupf' electronically
disables the starter motor.
3. All protected entry pOints and sensor inputs are continually monitored.
When the alarm Is sounding the following events occur: /...
• Visual status indicator begins flashing rapidly ~---
• Siren sounds continuously ~
• Vehicle'S parking lights flash once per second "
The alarm will sound for 30 seconds and then shut down returning the security system to
~ a fully armed state, except when the violated entry point is left open. In this case, the
alarm
will shut down for 10 seconds and then resume sounding to attract more attention to
the vehicle. This cycle repeats until the violated entry point is closed.
SHOCK SENSOR
The shock sensor is designed to detect impacts to the body of the vehicle. The force of
impact
required to "trip" the shock sensor is adjustable by your Installer. At the time of
installation, your Installer
wilt set the shock sensor threshold to a medium level. Should
you want to change the shock sensors threshold level, contact your dealer-they can
adjust the shock sensor to your desired setting.
When the system Is armed, the shock sensor continually monitors for impact to the body
of the
vehicle. An impact of greater magnitude than the threshold setting will trigger a full
alarm
cycle.
• If the shock sensor is triggered more than five times while the system is armed, the
system will bypass the sensor inputs until the system is disarmed and then rearmed.
All other protected entry paints are stili armed and alert.

LlTE-TOUCHTM
When the shock sensor senses a nonthreatening impact to the body of vehicle the siren
will sound a short "lite-touch" chirp to warn away a potential intruder.
• If the tllite-touch" Is tripped more than 10 times within a ten (10) minute period, the Iite-
touch stage is disabled until the system is disarmed and then rearmed.
ARMED OUTPUT (OPTIONAL)
The armed output can be used to activate other accessories or to control a second
Interrupt circuit to enhance the security system's effectiveness.
ARMING DELAY
You may notice that for a short period of time after you arm your security system, it
doesn't
seem to respond to any trip inputs, such as opening adoor or slapping a side
window. This Is because the system Ignores all sensors and Inputs for 5 seconds after the
second "arm" chirp. The system does this to prevent any false alarms that could occur
from a sensor
being tripped at the same time that the system Is armed.
ARMING THE SYSTEM WHEN A PROTECTED ENTRY POINT IS OPEN
When there is aprotected entry point open at the time that the system attempts to arm,
the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash one time. The system will then walt, In a
pre-armed
state, until the protected entry point Is closed. After the entry point has been
closed, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash again, this time Indicating that
the system
is armed. If 4-1/2 minutes passes and the entry point Is stili opened, the
system will arm bypassing the open entry point. The entry point will then be bypassed until
the system
Is disarmed and rearmed.
DISARMING THE SECURITY SYSTEM AFTER THE ALARM HAS BEEN
TRIPPED
If an alaan has been tripped while you were away, the siren will emit four short chirps
when
the system is disarmed Instead of the one normal disarm chirp. In addition to the
siren chirps the status Indicator will be flashing rapidly to Indicate that the alarm has been
tripped (also see "Visual alarm status indicator', page 4), the status Indicator will continue
flashing rapidly until the
system Is rearmed or the ignition key Is turned on. The Trip 10
feature below can be used to determine how the alarm cycle was triggered.
TRIP 10
When the status indicator Is flashing rapidly, the Trip 10
feature will Indicate how the previous alarm cycle was
triggered.
1.
Disarm the security system and enter vehicle.
Do not rearm the security system or turn ignition
key
on, this resets the Trip 10.
2. Press and hold the manual override/programming
button.
3. The siren will emit a series of chirps.

REMOTE CONTROLLED CONVENIENCE FUNCtiONS
The remote controlled convenience functions described in this section and the personal
safetyfeatures described below, may require additional parts and labor to be hooked up.
Because additionalparts and labor may be required, these features are referred to as
optional features. Some features listed below are only available on certain systems, see
yourdealer for details.
Remote Controlled Door Lock and Unlock
When the system is armed by remote control the system will lock the doors when the siren
chirps the first time. The doors will be unlocked when the system is disarmed.
Note: Vehicle must be equipped with power door locking system.
Trunk Release
Press the button for trunk release on the remote control transmitter. If the security system
is armed when the trunk release output is activated, the security system will be disarmed
and the doors unlocked. If you are going to leave the vehicle unattended, remember to
rearm the security system with the remote-control transmitter. When the ignition key is on,
the trunk release output is disabled to prevent the trunk or hatch from being opened while
driving.
Note:
The vehicle must be equipped with a electrid:IIIY activated trunk release.
Car start output (Systems with two button remote controls)
The car start output is activated by pressing the "STAAT" button on the remote control for
two
(2) seconds. When activated the system will lock the doors and triggerthe CSM-2
remote controlled car starter (not included).
Auxiliary outputs (Systems with fourbutton remote controls)
Auxiliary outputs are activated by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control
transmitter. Auxiliary outputs will remain active as long as the button on the remote control
transmitter is pressed, up to 10 seconds. Auxiliary outputs can be activated when the
security system is armed or disarmed. When an auxiliary output is activated while the
security system is armed, the sensor inputs are bypassed, during the auxiliary output
operation,
to prevent security system from being triggered.
PERSONAL SAFETY FEATURES
illuminated Entry/Exit
When disarmed, the security system will tum on the Interior dome light to illuminate your
entry
into the vehicle. The dome light will stay on for one minute, until the vehicle is started
or
the security system is rearmed. Additionally, when the ignition key is turned to off the
system will tum the interior dome light on, providing an illuminated exit from the vehicle.
The dome light will tum off after one minute or when the system is armed.
Automatic Door Lock and Unlock
If all protected openings are closed when the ignition key Is turned to the on pOSition, the
security system will lock the doors. When the key Is turned back off, the system will unlock
the doors to allow an easy exit from the vehicle.

OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
Low Vehicle Battery?
Should you ever experience a situation where:
• The starter will not engage after the alarm has been disarmed.
• The starter engages and then almost immediately disengages.
These conditions are almost always caused by an weak or defective vehicle battery.
If this happens, press in and hold the override/disarm button while turning the ignition key
to the start position. This will bypass the starter interrupt in the system control module. In
most cases this will allow the car to start. Should this situation continue to occur, have
your vehicle battery and starting system checked out by your mechanic.
System Maintenance
Your security system does not require any specific maintenance except for occasionally
changing transmitter batteries. However, it is suggested that the system be armed and all
protected zones should be checked on regular basis to make sure that they trigger an
alarm cycle. Should the system malfunction In any way, contact your dealer as soon as
possible for service.
Programmable operating characteristics
Many of the security system's operating characteristics can be programmed by your
installer to operate differently, see your security dealerfor additional details.
About transmitter range ...
The receiver inside your vehicle security system and the remote control transmitter are
designed together to have an effective operating range of up to 100 feet during normal
conditions. Although at times you will experience range greater than that, there are certain
conditions that will cause the effective transmitter range to be less than you would
normally experience. Atmospheric conditions and radio inter1erence are just a few
examples of the types of interference that can reduce transmitter range.
This device complies with FCC rules part 15. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must
accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
