parking lights.

The CPL Security System protects your vehicle from theft by disabling the starter when the system is
armed.

The CPL Security System conveniently locks and unlocks the vehicle’s doors and opens the trunk or hatch
by remote control.*
Personal Protection Features

System Maintenance
Changing the Remote Control Battery
The 3 volt lithium battery (model CR2032) inside each remote control should last approximately 1 year
under normal use. When the battery becomes weak you will notice the remote control range (the distance
from the vehicle the remote control will work) deteriorate and the small LED on the remote control will dim.
To replace the remote control batteries:
2. Gently unsnap the halves of the remote control apart using a small flat head screw driver.
3. Unsnap the lithium battery out of the circuit board, observing the +/- symbols on the battery
and replace with a new lithium 3 volt battery (model CR2032)
4. Gently snap the halves of the remote control back together.
5. Test operation of the remote control.
