Features and Benefits of the Code Alarm CA-630
Two Easy-to-Use Weather-Resistant Remote Controls
The remote controls included with the Code Alarm CA-630 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 CA-630 simple to operate.
All Entrances Protected
Opening any door or entrance protected by the security system
triggers the vehicle’s horn and flashes the vehicle parking lights.
Starter Disable
The Code Alarm CA-630 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-sTM
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-630 conveniently locks and unlocks vehicle
doors and opens the trunk or hatch by remote control.*
Personal Protection Features
Remote Panic Alarm, Illuminated Entry, and Car Finder are among
an array of features that enhance personal safety.**
Interior Status Indicator
The bright-blue warning light is an effective visual deterrent to a
would-be thief.
Remote Start
The Code Alarm CA-630 allows you to warm up your vehicle
and preheat or pre-cool the interior with the press of a button on
the remote control.
PowerRangeTM Antenna
This long-range antenna allows you to operate the Code Alarm CA-
630from distances of up to1/8mile. Remote-start your vehicle from
the safety of your home, apartment or office building.
*If vehicle is equipped with power door locks and they are connected to the alarm system by your installer.
** May require additional connections, components, and/or charges. See your installer for details.

Arming the Security System
To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all doors, then press* the
LOCK button. The horn 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 horn 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 horn 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 horn 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 horn will chirp to indicate
the cause of the alarm trigger:
1 chirp IT-sTM InteriorTheftSensor
2 chirps Door
3 chirps Hood
4 chirps Trunk/Optional Sensors
5 chirps Ignition was turned on
Using Your Remote Transmitter
*Throughout this manual, ‘press’ refers to pressing
for less than 1 second; ‘press and hold’ refers to pressing for more than 1 second.
†If you have chosen the Silent Arming Option, the horn will not sound when arming or disarming until the
appropriate button is pressed a second time.

Using Your Remote Transmitter (cont.)
Disabling the IT-sTM Interior Theft Sensor
It may be necessary at times to disable the IT-sTM Interior Theft Sensor,
especially when parking in areas (like parking garages) where
extreme vibration may cause false alarms. Press the LOCK buttonand
then press the FIND/PANIC button within two seconds of pressing
LOCK to disable the interior theft sensor.The horn will chirp two times
to indicate that the sensor is disabled. The sensor will become
enabled again the next time the system is armed normally.
Two-Stage Door Unlock
If this feature is enabled on your system, pressing UNLOCK one time
will unlock only the driver’s door. Press UNLOCK again within 1
minute to unlock all doors.
Activating the Trunk Release Feature
Press and hold UNLOCK to open the vehicle trunk or hatch (if
equipped and connected). If this button is used to operate another
accessory, the accessory will stay active for as long as the button is
held.
Using the Progressive Car Finder Feature
Press FIND/PANIC on the remote control to locate your vehicle. The
horn will emit five short chirps at low volume, increasing in volume
each of three times the button is pressed.
Personal Protection Alarm (Panic)
Press and hold the FIND/PANIC button to activate the vehicle horn
and parking lights for 30 seconds. (If the vehicle horn is connected,
the horn will “pulse” for 30 seconds.) Press any remote control button
to turn off the Panic alarm.
Remote Start / Stop Feature
Press and hold START on the remote control. If all safety parameters
are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds (diesel engines will
take longer.) Press and hold START again to turn off the vehicle. (Turn

Using Valet Mode
If the Passive Arming feature is enabled on your system, Valet mode
temporarily prevents the alarm system from arming automatically.
This is useful when fueling or servicing your vehicle.
To enter Valet Mode:
With the vehicle ignition on, press the LOCK button. The blue
dashboard warning light (status indicator) will turn on for one second,
then turn off. This indicates that the system is in Valet mode. Once the
ignition is turned off, the status indicator will emit a quick double-flash
pattern.
Note: In Valet mode, all keyless entry, convenience and remote start
features operate normally.
To exit Valet Mode:
With the vehicle ignition on, press the UNLOCK button. The blue
dashboard warning light (status indicator) will turn on for one second,
then turn off. This indicates that the system has exited Valet mode.
Hint: To prevent your security system from automatically arming while
unloading or refueling your vehicle, without placing the system in
Valet mode, simply press the disarm button on your remote control
transmitter after turning the ignition key off. Doing so places your
system into a temporary or one time Valet mode. Next time you exit
your vehicle the system will arm in the normal manner.
Using Your Remote Starter
StartingYour Vehicle
The remote start function is activated by pressing and holding the
STARTbutton for 2 seconds on the remote control. The system will
check the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start, and if all safety
parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds (diesel
engines will take longer.) Press and hold START again to turn off the
vehicle.
If your vehicle stalls or does not start...
If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the CA-630 will pause 5 seconds,
then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). The
system pauses 5 seconds between each start attempt. If the vehicle
does not start after the fourth attempt, the CA-630 will abort the start
process.
Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the alarm is
armed or disarmed. When the alarm is armed, the impact sensor turns
off when the vehicle is started to prevent the engine vibration from
