will dim and you will notice reduced operating range when using the
remote control.
Battery replacement: Locate the small slot on the side of the remote
control. Insert a small slotted screwdriver or equivalent tool into slot
and pry the case apart. Replace battery while verifying the correct
polarity and then snap case together

Alarm Features
Armed Protection
Status LED: The Status LED flashes as a visual indicator that your ve-
hicle’s security system is active.
Starter Kill: The Failsafe starter kill relay prevents the engine from
starting.
Note May require additional parts and installation
Sensor triggers: The onboard shock sensor can distinguish minor im-
pacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts causes
the system to emit a Warn-away output. Major impacts caused for
example by a forcible entry attempt, results in a Full Trigger output.
Point of entry triggers: Opening the hood or trunk causes a Full Trig-
ger output, while opening a Door or turning on the Ignition causes
the siren to chirp 3 seconds before beginning the Full Trigger output.
This 3 second delay allows time to disarm and silence the siren in
case of accidental trigger.
Sensor Warn-away output: When the system sensors detect a Warn-
away, it triggers the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for 3
seconds.
Full Trigger output: An alarm Full Trigger sounds the siren and flashes
the parking lights for 30 seconds.

Emergency Override
The following procedure disarms the system when a programmed re-
mote is not available.
1. Turn the ignition On.
2. Press and release the Valet button once.
3. The siren output ceases and the system is disarmed.
Note As a precaution, if programmed for Passive Arming the sys-
tem should be placed into Valet Mode until a remote is
available.
Trigger Zone Fault Report
When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of
the alarm trigger zones (see Table of Zones on next page). Open
zones (usually caused by dome light delay or open trunk) are by-
passed and reported via the status LED, while all other trigger zones
remain active and are monitored to protect the vehicle. Should an
open zone self correct (such as dome light turns off), it becomes active
and is then monitored normally.
The siren chirps once again a few seconds following the arming chirps
as an audible alert, and the status LED flashes in groups to indicate
the zone number.
Alarm Report
If the alarm was triggered while armed, it will be reported when the
alarm is disarmed via siren chirps, parking light and status LED flashes.
The siren chirps 4 times (or 5 times if NPC On, See Nuisance Preven-
tion (NPC) on next page), the parking lights flash 3 times, and the
status LED flashes in groups to indicate the last two zones that were
triggered (see Table of Zones on next page). The report output will
repeat for each disarm operation until the ignition is turned on.

Table of Zones
Zone # (led flashes) Zone Name
1 Trunk/Sensor 2
2 Shock Sensor
3 Door
5 Ignition
Note: The Warn-away trigger does not report on the LED.
Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC)
NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered excessively,
bypasses them until corrected. If a point of entry (trunk, hood, door)
is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It becomes active
again only after being closed.
Bypassed sensors automatically reset after one hour, and after the
vehicle is driven. Disarming then re-arming the alarm does not reset
bypassed sensors.
