Operating Instructions for Prestige XRO9100 Remote Start System

Operating Instructions for Prestige XRO9100 Remote Start System
Keyless Entry for the XRO9100:	Note: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock 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 configured with single button Lock/Unlock, to activate the all door unlock feature operate the Lock/Unlock button a second time within 3 seconds of the first unlock command. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock/Disarm button on the key chain transmitter. The dash mounted LED turns off.  The LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming. Parking Lights flash two times. If the parking lights flashed 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 your 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 the 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.
Protection While the XRO9100 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 flash. 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 flash 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 flash as well for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
While the XRO9100 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.
Intrusion Warning Signals for the XRO9100:	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 flash 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 flashing 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 flashing 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 flashing 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.
Eliminating the Arm/Disarm Chirps on the XRO9100:	You can eliminate the chirps selectively anytime you arm or disarm the system, if the feature has been activated, simply by holding the ARM or DISARM button for two seconds. If you find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently, eliminating the need to hold the ARM/DISARM button for 2 seconds. To do this: Turn the ignition key on then off. Within 10 seconds, press and release valet switch three times. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear two chirps indicating they have been turned off. If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating they have been turned on. 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 for the XRO9100:	The Lock or Unlock button on your key chain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the key chain transmitter for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound. 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. 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.
Valet Switch for the XRO9100:	Note: Some units may include a combination Push-Button/LED Switch in these systems the LED and Switch are one and the same. The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants 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. In addition, the parking lights will flash to indicate locking and unlocking. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your key chain transmitter or by activating your personalized manual override code. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the on position. Press and hold the valet push-button switch until the dash mounted LED turns on solid. The system will remain in the valet mode. To return to normal operation, press and release the push-button switch anytime the ignition is on. Note: Always remember to return the system to normal operation. This will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
Push Button Safety Control Switch on the XRO9100:	The push-button control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function of the system. This is recommended whenever the vehicle is being serviced. To place the system in the service mode: With the system disarmed/unlocked and the ignition switch off, press and hold the push-button switch on. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off. The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes 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: With the system disarmed, press and hold the push-button switch on. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off. The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again.
RF Shock Sensor Mode Selection on the XRO9100:	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: 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). 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. 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. 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.
Shock Sensor Adjustment for the XRO9100:	To change or adjust the shock sensor, press and release the ARM button of you key chain transmitter. 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 flash and the siren will chirp once.) 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 flash and the siren will chirp twice.) Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 3 times to enter the "City Mode" of operation. (The lights will flash 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 such programmed, simply press the lock button of your key chain 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.
Remote Starting the Vehicle with the XRO9100:	The system WILL NOT start the vehicle if any one of the following conditions exists: The vehicle hood is opened. The gear selector is in any gear other then Park. The brake is depressed. 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. Press and release the Trunk/Start or programmed button of your key chain transmitter two times within 2 seconds. The vehicle will start and remain running for the pre-programmed 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes. As a visual indication, the parking lights will flash or turn on depending on the programming set up by your installation center. When you arrive at your vehicle, disarm the alarm system by pressing and releasing the disarm/unlock button of your key chain transmitter. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the on position. CAUTION! Do not turn the key to the start position. This will cause the starter motor to engage with the already running engine which could result in damage. Step on the brake pedal to disengage the remote start unit.

Depress the brake pedal. Open the hood. Race the engine to above 4000 RPM.
Operating on Automatic Start Up Timer Mode with the XRO9100:	Your system has the ability to automatically start the vehicle every 2 or 4 hours over a 48 hour period. This feature is especially useful in cold climates where the only means to keep the engine and engine fluids warm is to periodically start the engine. 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. To remote start the vehicle: Turn the ignition key on then off. Within 10 seconds, activate the RF start command two times. (Push the programmed channel button of your key chain transmitter 4 times). The parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times indicating the timed start mode is activated. The vehicle, on a 2 or 4 hour interval basis, will automatically start, run for the pre-programmed time (5,10,15 or 20 minutes), and then shut off. This will continue for 48 hours. To remote start the vehicle from the transmitter only: Start the vehicle using the key chain transmitter by pressing and releasing the second channel transmitter button 2 times. Shut off the vehicle using the key chain transmitter by pressing and releasing the second channel transmitter button 2 times. Within 10 seconds of step 2, activate the RF start command two times. (Push the second channel button of your key chain transmitter 4 times). The parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times indicating the timed start mode is activated. To cancel the automatic start up timer do one of the following: Start the vehicle manually with the use of the ignition key and depress the brake pedal. Remote start the vehicle using your key chain RF transmitter.
Turbo Timer Mode on the XRO9100:	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 ignition key is in the on position for more than 15 seconds: Place the gear selector in park. Set the parking, (hand) brake. Be certain your foot is off the brake pedal. Press the program/push-button switch 2 times within 5 seconds. The parking lights will flash two times indicating the mode was successfully entered. If your parking lights flashed 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.
Temperature Start Mode on the XRO9100:	To toggle this feature on, from the armed mode, press the side switch up 4 times than press the Lock (1) Button. The display will switch to indicate that the Temp Start mode was activated, and the Icon will be displayed. When the temperature reaches 0° C or 32° F, the vehicle will start and run for the allotted time for one start cycle. Note: This feature must be active in the feature selection menu of your system. Check with your installing dealer to insure this feature is set to the on position. To cancel the Temp Start Up, simply start the vehicle either with the key or the remote start.
