WARNING!Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote
vehicle starting device. A running engine produces dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure
occurs. DO NOT remote start the vehicle if it is garaged.
YOUR “SPREAD SPRECTUM" TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive
security system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known
as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your key chain
transmitter and re-transmit at a later time to disarm your system.
Your Spread Spectrum transmitters will shift frequencies making it impossible for a
thief to grab and rebroadcast your code.

If your transmitter button is pressed more than fty times while it
is out of range of the vehicle (children playing with your keys), the
transmitter will not operate when you return to the vehicle, and
will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press
button 1, (lock), two times within a one second time period. The
system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button
is pressed.
NOTE: This system is custom congurable and can be set up to
operate with a number of options controlled from any transmitter
button or button combination. For reference, we will describe
operation assuming that your system is programmed for separate
lock and unlock buttons. Also reference will be made to the icons as shown
on the buttons left.
NOTE: The LCD based remote will be explained in detail further in this manual See
"System Status" described later in this manual. Consult your installation
center if your system has been congured differently.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for
the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or both
may in fact chirp, or beep.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.
2. Press and release Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.
 The dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
 Parking Lights ash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or hood
lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If the
siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed
dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a
open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm
the system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when
arming, then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the
section titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.
Doors Lock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been
selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the system
will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE (Feature must be active during programming)
During step 2 above, hold the transmitter button for 2 seconds then release. The
unit will arm without the chirps for this one lock cycle.

128-9309

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)
(Must be activated during programming)
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close and lock all doors, hood lid and
trunk lid.
 The dash mounted LED begins to ash rapidly, indicating 30 second
passive arming has begun.
2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle
will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive arming
cycle will restart when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming
cycle;
 The dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
 Parking Lights ash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and
you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS“
in this manual.
Doors Lock - Optional
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The alarm can be pro-
grammed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the keychain transmitter
and they will not automatically lock during passive arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
Opening any protected door, hood or trunk lid will cause the alarm to
immediately sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds,
then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief
left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles, remain
armed and ignore that triggered zone.\
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED indicator will
slowly ash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The
LED is a very low current bulb and will not cause the vehicle’s battery
to drain, even when left unattended for extended periods.
 Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will ash
for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit
will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the
vehicle can not be started.
Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a
short series of warning tones.
Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger
for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
NOTE: If the optional interior illumination circuit was installed, the interior light will
ash as well for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
NOTE: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock

128-9309 of
6 of 24
Page 6
transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the
unlock button a second time will cause all doors to unlock.
NOTE: If your transmitter has been congured with single button Lock/Unlock, to
activate the all door unlock feature press the Lock/Unlock button a second
time within 3 seconds of the rst unlock command.
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock/Disarm button on the
keychain transmitter.
The dash mounted LED turns off.
The LED will start ashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming
automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
 Parking Lights ash two times.
If the parking lights ashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in your
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify which
zone was triggered.
Siren sounds two chirps.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence.
Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the INTRUSION
WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which zone was
triggered.
If the siren did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been
turned off and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THE
ARM / DISARM
CHIRPS“ in this manual.
Doors Unlock - Optional
2 Step Doors Unlock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added and has
been selected for operation when disarming, as an added convenience, the
system will turn on the headlights when the system is disarmed.
SILENT DISARMING (Feature must be activated during programming)
During step 1 above, hold the transmitter button for 2 seconds then release. The
unit will arm without the chirps for this one lock cycle.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your
security system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the
Unlock/Disarm button. This action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully
armed and protected. This feature is particularly useful if you are aware of children
playing near your vehicle that may accidentally trigger your security system. In this
case you can cancel the siren sounding without disarming your alarm.

128-9309

INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away
from the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will chirp 4 times and
the parking lights will ash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle
and observe the red dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered.
 If the LED is ashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering
device that may have been added to the system.
 If the LED is ashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added
to the system or to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed
using the voltage sensing feature.
 If the LED is ashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then
an intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory and will only
be erased when the ignition key is turned on.
PUSH BUTTON LED RECEIVER VALET/OVERRIDE/SAFETY SWITCH
The Push Button LED switch located in the receiver allows you to temporarily bypass
all alarm functions, eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking atten-
dants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all alarm functions
are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door locks will remain
operational. To use the valet mode, the system must rst be disarmed either by using
your keychain transmitter, or by activating your personalized manual override code.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the Push Button switch until the LED turns on solid. The system
will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the Push Button switch any time
the ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE RECEIVERS PUSH BUTTON OVERRIDE SWITCH
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmit-
ter. This is necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the
transmitter is lost or its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet
Switch manual override as indicated on the last page of this manual, to bypass the
alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the push button override switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode. You can now
start and operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.

PROGRAMMING YOUR CUSTOM OVERRIDE CODE
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the
consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security.
To take advantage of this option, programmable feature # 9 must be selected for
the Custom Code Option. Consult your installation center for programming details.
The system comes from the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11.
To change this default override code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Receivers push button switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren or
horn will beep and the lights will ash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and re-
leasing the Receivers push button switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then
on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and re-
leasing the Receivers push button switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the new code was
accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by ashing the LED,
rst indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report
the new code three times with a one second pause between each code, then the
system will begin arming. If the LED ash pattern reports the previously stored
code, the new code was not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through 7
above considering the following.
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize
a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert
back to the last successfully stored code.
CUSTOM CODE PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do
the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Receivers push button switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren or
horn will beep and the lights will ash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the Receivers push button switch
to set the tenths digit. (As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the
tenths digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the pushbutton, turn the ignition switch off
then on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the Receivers Push button switch
to set the units digit.
(As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED ash
pattern.

128-9309
9 of 24
Page 9
You will notice the LED ashing ve times, pause, and then ash two times, pause.
This pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been
accepted and stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 7, the LED ashes a code other than what was just entered,
this indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat
steps 1 through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0
(Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more
then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the
last successfully stored code.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default override
code of 11 is in the system's memory.
1) Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.
NOTE: The siren will sound.
2) Within 5 seconds, press and release the Receivers push button switch 1 time.
3) Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4) Within 5 seconds, press and release the Receivers push button switch 1 time.
5) Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.
NOTE: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your new
code tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal arm and disarm chirps by holding the
transmitter button slightly longer when arming or disarming. This will prevent the
siren chirps for one arm or disarm cycle. If you nd this inconvenient and wish to
eliminate these chirps permanently,
1. Turn the ignition switch 'on" then 'off".
2. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, press and release the Receivers
push button switch 3 times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating
that the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren
will emit one short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is disconnected then reconnected, the unit will return
to the default setting of chirps on. Repeat the above procedure to eliminate
the arm/disarm chirps.
NOTE: Your system must be programmed by the installation center to enable this
feature.
NOTE: Whenever the chirps are bypassed, the 4-chirp intrusion indicator and
3 chirp defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are
important warnings to you that something has happened, they cannot be
eliminated.
NOTE: Your system must be programmed by the installation center to enable this
feature.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The Lock or Unlock button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic
switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic:
1. Press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the transmitter
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop
after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than the Lock or Unlock
button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be turned off immediately.
The normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended during the Panic
sounding period.
3. During the panic mode, the Lock and Unlock buttons can be used to lock and
unlock the doors, (if the option is installed), however once the unlock/disarm
button is pressed, the vehicle's starter inhibit device, (where installed) will be
disabled allowing the vehicle to start.
NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock or Unlock buttons
will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors respectively. While in the
panic mode, anytime the Unlock button is pressed, the panic feature will continue
for the allotted 30 seconds, however, the security system will be disarmed allowing
the vehicle to start.
RF SHOCK SENSOR MODE SELECTION
The way in which your alarm system reacts to threatening vibrations, created by
attempts to enter the vehicle by breaking a window, is adjustable by the transmitter
immediately after arming. There are 4 modes of operation that can be selected by
the operator:
1. Normal Operation (default mode)
In this mode, any strong vibrations will cause the siren to sound (full detect) for
30 seconds. Any lesser vibration will cause the siren to emit about 6 short warn
away chirps, (pre-detect).
2. Stage 1 (Omit pre-detect)
In this mode, the warn away chirps created by the lesser vibration will be
deleted. If strong vibration occurs, the siren will sound.
3. Stage 2 (Omit pre & full detect)
In this mode, both the pre-detect stage and the full trigger stage of the sensor
are defeated. The unit will not react to vibration of any magnitude.
NOTE: Shock Sensor Icon Is Displayed On The LCD Panel.
4. Stage 3 (City Mode)
In this mode, the pre-detect chirps will change from six pre-warning tones to a
full 10 seconds of warning chirps.
The full detect trigger duration will be reduced from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
NOTE: Setting the stage of the shock sensor will be effective for one arming cycle
only. Once the system has been disarmed, the very next arming cycle will
cause the sensor to default to the normal operation stage.
To change or adjust the shock sensor, press and release the ARM button of you
keychain transmitter.

128-9309
11 of 24
Page 11
1. Within 2 seconds of arming, press and release the ARM button 1 time, to defeat
the pre-detect stage of the shock sensor. (The lights will ash and the siren will
chirp once.)
2. Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 2 times, to defeat
the pre and full detect stages of the shock sensor. (The lights will ash and the
siren will chirp twice.)
3. Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 3 times to enter
the "City Mode" of operation. (The lights will ash and the siren will chirp three
times.)
While under control of the remote start the system can be programmed to allow you
to shunt the shock sensor from the transmitter. If the system has been programmed,
simply press the lock button of your keychain transmitter anytime during the remote
start cycle. The shock sensor will be shunted for the entire run cycle and will resume
normal operation after the remote start unit shuts off.
Check with your installation center to determine if this feature has been programmed
into your system.
PUSH-BUTTON LED RECEIVER SAFETY CONTROL SWITCH
The Push-Button LED control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote
starting function of the system. This recommended whenever the vehicle is being
serviced. To place the system in the service mode:
1) With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off press and hold
2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.
3) The LED begins to ash two short ashes followed by one long ashes and
continues this pattern until returned to normal mode of operation. This puts
the unit into the R/S Override mode indicating that the remote start is in the
service mode and will not start from RF or any other input Posse or otherwise.
To Exit R/S Override Mode
1) With the system disarmed, press and hold the push button, found on the wind-
shield receiver, in.
2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.
3) The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
The system WILL NOT start the vehicle if any one of the following conditions exists:
1. The Vehicle Hood Is Opened.
2. The Gear Selector Is In Any Gear Other Then Park.
3. The Brake Is Depressed.
4. The Safety Control Switch Is In The Off Position.
WARNING! Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote
vehicle starting device. A running engine produces dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure
occurs. DO NOT remote start the vehicle if it is garaged.

TURBO TIMER MODE
This system provides a means to cool down the vehicles turbo charger, if so
equipped, by allowing the vehicle to continue to run for a prescribed period of time
every time the vehicle's engine is turned off. This feature requires the system to
be set up for turbo timer during installation. Consult with your installation center to
be certain this feature was activated and how long the vehicle will continue to run,
3, 5, or 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off.
To activate the turbo timer:
Anytime the engine is running for more than 15 seconds:
1) Place the gear selector in park.
2) Set the parking, (hand), brake.
3) Be certain your foot is off the brake pedal.
4) Press the receiver's program/Push-Button switch 2 times within 5 seconds.
The parking lights will ash two times indicating the mode was successfully entered.
If your parking lights ashed four times, this indicates the turbo mode was on and
is now turned off.
With the turbo timer mode selected on, after you've arrived at your destination, while
the engine is still running, set the parking brake, pause 2 seconds, then turn the
ignition switch to the off position. The engine will continue to run the allotted time
according to the selection during installation.
If you do not want the vehicle to continue to run for one cycle, simply step on the
vehicle's brake, or release the parking brake, or activate the transmitter's start button
two times in succession. Any of these will cause the engine to turn off.
