Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security system. This system has been designed to provide years
of trouble-free operation. This guide should help you to get the
most out of your system. Please take the time to read it
thoroughly, prior to using your system.
Your warranty card must be returned. If it is not returned you do
not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your receipt,
which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized
dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer.
Your Warranty

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is pow-
ered by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last approx-
imately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens,
operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.
Transmitter Functions
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the trans-
mitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter
button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes pro-
grammed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized
by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instructions in
this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.
Button
The arm/disarm and Panic Functions are usually controlled by Button I.
Button
The Silent Mode, trunk release and Remote Valet functions are usu-
ally controlled by Button II. (Silent Mode and Remote Valet work by
pressing Button II for less than one second. Trunk release requires
you to press Button II for 1.5 Seconds.)

and Button
An optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that you
have added to your system can usually be controlled by pressing
and simultaneously. These button assignments can be
changed if needed, such as for two-car operation from one remote.
The auxiliary output controls _____________________________.
Using Your System
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing of your trans-
mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short
siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the
vehicle’s power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors
will lock. While the system is armed, the Status LED will flash
about twice a second, showing that the system is actively pro-
tecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and
see the Status LED flashes in groups, see Diagnostics section. This
extra chirp is called Bypass Notification. The system also can be
programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive arming). If
the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically
arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system
"sees" you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door.
Whenever the system is in its 30 second passive-arming count-
Arming

down, the Status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the
system is armed.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protect-
ed trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless
forced passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options sec-
tion). Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming
countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways:
■Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away®signal. When trig-
gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for
a few seconds.
■Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The trigger sequence
is 30 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.
■If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirp-
ing the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds
later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This
progressive response gives you time to disarm the system
with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door
while the system is armed, while still providing instant
response (even if the door is immediately closed).
■Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response as opening a door.
■The optional starter kill prevents the starter from cranking.
Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press
on your transmitter while the vehicle is running. The system
will chirp once and then once more to indicate that the ignition

is on. The system will not respond to any input except the door
triggers and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated.
The system will disarm automatically when the ignition is turned
off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing.
To turn off, or disarm the system, press again. You will hear
two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If power locks
are controlled by the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren
chirps either four or five times when disarming, see Diagnostics
section. This is called Tamper Alert.
Your system includes a High Security Disarm feature. During the
triggered sequence, using the transmitter to disarm it will only
stop the triggered sequence (the siren will stop and the parking
lights will stop flashing), however, the system will remain armed
and the doors will stay locked. This is extremely useful if you must
stop the system from sounding, but are unable to check the vehicle
visually. The trigger will stop, but the vehicle will remain protected.
To disarm with the transmitter during a trigger, press on your
transmitter. The siren will stop sounding. Next press once
more and the system will chirp four or five times (reporting the
trigger) and disarm.
