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. Due to the complexity of this system,
it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of
this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the
warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-
cates to verify that they are authorized.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your
system. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.

system maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote
control is powered by a small, lightweight 3 volt lithium battery
that will last approximately one year under normal use. When
the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the
LED on the remote will dim.
your warranty
Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code
serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration
is not returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also necessary
to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product
was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive
the warranty registration from your dealer.
fcc/id notice
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this device.

This system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-
mitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially
comes programmed 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.

Silent Mode™ and an optional auxiliary function are controlled
by pressing this button. (Silent Mode works by pressing this
button for less than one second before arming or disarming. An
optional auxiliary function, such as trunk release, can be
controlled by pressing this button for 1.5 seconds.)

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond
to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only
way your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured
to meet your needs.
active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear
a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash
once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to
the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approxi-
mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively
protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,
and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics
section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

passive arming
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 countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast
as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp once 20
seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not
actually armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock
(if connected and programmed for passive locking) at the 30
second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp
provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤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 triggered
sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and
flashing parking lights.
➤If a door is opened, the system will immediately start
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on). See Programming Options section of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
