Using Your System
Pressing for one second will lock the doors. The red LED will
begin to flash once per second and the parking lights will flash
once. Pressing again within 10 seconds of locking the system
will not lock the doors again, but it will flash the parking lights
and honk the horn once, confirming that the system is locked.
After 10 seconds, the system can be locked again, as usual.
NOTE: You must use your transmitter to lock the vehicle in order to be
able to unlock the system with your transmitter. If you have not used
the transmitter to lock the vehicle doors (i.e. the vehicle has been locked
using the lock/unlock switch) the transmitter cannot be used to unlock the
doors.
To unlock the driver’s door (or all vehicles doors, depending on if
your vehicle has driver’s door unlock), press for one second.
The parking lights will flash twice and the red LED will go out. If
pressing the first time did not unlock all doors, press
again within 10 seconds to unlock the remaining passenger doors
and the parking lights will flash twice. Pressing a third time
within 10 seconds will flash the parking lights and honk the horn
twice, confirming that the system has been unlocked. After 10
seconds, the system can be unlocked again, as usual.
NOTE: If the system has been locked with the remote, you must use the
remote to unlock the system.

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your remote! Just press
and hold for 1.5 seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The
horn will honk and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To
stop Panic Mode at any time, press on the remote.
NOTE: In order for Panic Mode to function, the vehicle’s horn (or option-
al siren) must be connected.
Code Hopping™
The receiver and transmitter use mathematical formulas called
algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used.
This Code Hopping technology has been developed to increase the
security of the unit. By following this set code sequence, the
receiver and transmitter stay synchronized, even if the transmitter
is used out of range of the vehicle. If, however, the transmitter is
pressed many times out of range, or the battery is removed, the
transmitter may get temporarily out of sync and fail to operate the
system. To resynchronize the transmitter, simply press several
times within range of the vehicle. The system will automatically
resynchronize and the transmitter will respond normally.
