ty system. No chirp sound will be heard, arm/disarm confirmation will be through the vehicles parking lights only.
E. Passive Arming
Active arming/disarming is controlling you security system via the remote transmitter. This security system is equipped
with an optional Passive Arming feature, which allows the security system to arm 30 seconds after the last door is closed.
Operation:
1. Turn the ignition to the “Off” position and exit the vehicle.
2. After all entrances are closed the security system’s LED will flash fast for 30 seconds. If you reopen any door, the hood
or trunk, the security system LED will stop flashing. It will begin flashing again once all the vehicle’s entrances are
closed.
3. After the 30-second timer has elapsed, the security system will automatically “Arm”. The siren will chirp one time and
the parking lights will flash one time.

times.
Automatic Rearm: (see feature No. 5 on programming chart) If this feature is selected, the security system will automati-
cally rearm itself 60 seconds after disarming with remote transmitter. Automatic rearm will cancel if any door is opened
before the 60 seconds timer has elapsed.
G. Valet Mode
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to give your transmitter to

setting is “Off”
(see Feature No. 8 on programming chart)
.

4. Press any button on 2nd transmitter, 2 short chirps to confirm code is learned.
5. Press any button on 3rd transmitter, 3 short chirps to confirm code is learned.
6. Press any button on 4th transmitter, 4 short chirps to confirm code is learned.
7. Exit transmitter programming by turning “Off” the ignition key or after 15 seconds the
security system will automatically exit transmitter programming and chirp 3 times.

B. Programming System Features (Factory preset all features to “On” position, except car-jacking)
To enter feature programming:
1. Turn the ignition “On” then “Off”.
2. Within 10 seconds push the valet switch 3 times (a long chirp).
3. Again push the valet switch 3 times (a long chirp again to confirm being in feature programming mode).
To program a feature:
4. Push the valet switch the same number of times as the feature number (see chart below).
5. Turn ignition switch from “Off” to “On” to set the feature.
Example:
• Push valet switch 2 times (Activates Active/Passive Arming Programming). The siren will chirp 2 times, LED will
flash 2 times to confirm entry to this feature.
• Select Active Arming, turn ignition from “Off” to “On”, 1 chirp for confirmation.

• If you want to program Auto Rearm (5th feature) when the system is on Active/Passive Arming, push valet switch 3
times again (Siren chirps 5 times, LED flashes 5 times). The system will add on the previous valet switch pushing.
To exit feature programming:
6. During programming, if you don’t respond to previous step in 15 seconds or any time press the ARM button on the
transmitter it will exit feature programming. 3 long chirps will indicate you have exited feature programming.
