INSTALLATION CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR
BAGS, ABS BRAKES, AND BATTERY).
TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE DEAD BATTERY remove vehicle dome light fuse while working on the vehicle.
MAKE CERTAIN TO REINSTALL FUSE PRIOR TO TESTING FOR DOOR TRIGGERS.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM OUTPUT RATINGS! -SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. LIMITS FOR
ALARM FUNCTIONS ARE LISTED WHERE APPLICABLE. IF UNSURE ABOUT CURRENT LOAD,
MEASURE LOAD WITH AN AMP-METER.
REMOVE MAIN SYSTEM FUSE(S) before jump starting the vehicle or charging the battery at high boost.
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO SYSTEM IF PROPER PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with brake, and gas pedals, steering
column, or any other moving parts in the vehicle.
CONTROL MODULE MOUNTING
DO NOT Mount the control unit in the engine compartment.
DO NOT Mount the control unit or wiring harness where they can become entangled with moving parts
such as brake/gas/clutch pedals, or the steering column.
The alarm control module should be mounted in a concealed location. The Placement of the module will
affect the distance from which the remote transmitter can control the unit. The antenna wire should be routed
away from any metal if possible. Do not alter the length of the antenna wire or route it with other wires. Do
not ground the antenna wire.
Underdash Mounting: If you are locating the control unit underdash, mount it as high as possible not easily
located by an intruder.
Driver’s Side underdash mounting provides an easy location for wiring however this is a common location for
an intruder to check for an alarm after breaking into the vehicle. The left side of the vehicle may contain more
metal and or wiring that will create interference and decrease the operating range of the system.
Passenger Side underdash is often the best location, however some extra wiring may be needed to extend
wires across from the driver’s side.
Under-seat / Center Console mounting is also a possibility however range be affected by metal structures
and of the unit may be exposed to moisture from spilled drinks etc. Moisture or Damage caused by corrosion
is not covered under warranty.

PROGRAMMING
OPTION DESCRIPTIONS (SEE CHART ON PG. 6)
10/60 Sec. DOOR OPEN WARNING
This setting changes the delay time in which the alarm system begins to monitor the Door, Hood, or Trunk Zones. This
is helpful on vehicles with a delayed dome light to prevent the alarm from giving warning chirps due to the vehicle’s
dome light staying on. Factory Default setting is 10 Sec.
SILENT ARMING /DISARMING (NO CHIRPS)
With this feature, the system can be programmed to Arm and Disarm without the siren chirp. Flashing parking lights
will be the only Arm/Disarm confirmation. The Factory Default setting is OFF.
ACTIVE RE-ARMING
Active Re-arming allows the system to re-arm itself 30 seconds after disarmed with the transmitter if a door has not
been opened. This is handy if the vehicle is accidentally disarmed (via the Transmitter in your pocket) without you
knowing it. The Factory default setting is ON.
PASSIVE CARJACK
This feature programs the alarm system’s Carjack Mode to be in Passive Carjack Mode. This mode should only be
considered in serious situations. In this mode, if a door is opened when the Ignition is on or the vehicle is running,
Carjack countdown sequence will always be initiated. After 90 seconds the unit will pre-warn and then actively start a
Carjack cycle with siren and flashing lights for up to 5 minutes. To reset or prevent this cycle from starting, the
program/override switch must be pressed 3 times. The Factory Default setting is OFF.
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING Note: System can learn up to 3 different codes max.
1. Turn Ignition ON and OFF 3 times quickly, leaving it ON the last time. (ON/OFF, ON/OFF, ON) You should hear
(1) short chirp.
2. Push the Program/Override Button for 5 seconds until the siren chirps (3) times. Release the button.
The system is now in programming mode.
3. Press Button #1 on new transmitter –siren will chirp to confirm programming. Repeat Step 3 within 5 sec. for up to
2 additional transmitters.
4. Turn off Ignition.
Note 1: If only one transmitter is being programmed, continue pressing button #1 until dash LED flashes goes out and
the system chirps to exit programming mode to prevent unauthorized codes and noise from entering the system.
Note 2: Programming mode is exited automatically after 5 seconds of last code transmission or once 3 new codes
have been programmed. The LED will flash go out and siren will chirp indicating program mode exit.

OPERATION
PRE-WARNING SHOCK PROTECTION
If a low-level shock to the vehicle body is detected, the pre-warning sensor activates sounding 6 quick siren chirps and
1 light flash. Adjust the shock sensor as needed by turning the control knob clockwise to increase sensitivity and
counter-clockwise to decrease sensitivity. To bypass sensor, press Button #3 (Trunk) within 2 Sec. of arming.
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE/DISARM
If you have lost the transmitter or it stops working for any reason and the Alarm is armed, you will have to open the
door with the key, which will activate the alarm. Turn the ignition on and press the override/program button about 2
seconds. The Alarm will disarm and enter the Valet mode which allows you to use the vehicle until you can
repair/replace the remote transmitter at which time you can take the vehicle out of valet.
VALET MODE
To disable the Alarm system while still allowing door lock/unlock and AUX feature, turn the ignition on and press the
override/program button until the dash LED turns on solid (about 4 seconds) and you hear (1) siren chirp. Repeat the
process to exit VALET mode and the system will chirp (2) times and the LED will turn off.
SILENT ARM/DISARM MODES:
•THROUGH THE TRANSMITTER
This system can be armed and disarmed without chirps as needed. Press and Quickly release Button #3 (Trunk pop)
to Arm and Disarm system without chirps. Note: If Button #3 is pressed too long, then the Aux. 1 will activate!
•SILENT ARMING /DISARMING (THROUGH PROGRAMMING)
The system can be silently armed and disarmed as normal with Lock/Unlock Buttons but no siren chirp. See alarm
programming option (6) to enable or disable this feature.
PASSIVE ARMING / PASSIVE LOCK MODES
Both modes must be set ON or OFF prior to install. Consult your authorized dealer.
Passive (Automatic) Arming will occur 30 Seconds after the ignition is turned off and the last door has been closed.
The LED will begin flashing rapidly while counting down. If a door is reopened, the system will wait (LED solid) for the
door or zone to close before arming and bypassing it. After 30 seconds or when all entry points close, the unit will arm
(1 chirp/1 light flash) and Doors will lock if passive locking is selected.
PRIOR INTRUSION ALERT
If the system was tripped in your absence, the dash LED will be flashing rapidly. When the system is disarmed you will
hear 3 chirps (and 3 light flashes). Carefully inspect your vehicle to see if there is any damage or a theft has occurred.
DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATION (OPTIONAL)
This feature turns on the vehicles dome light upon disarm for 30 seconds or until the key is inserted and turned on.
This will provide illuminated entry to your vehicle at night or in dimly lit areas for safety and security.
