Operation
ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE:
- Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
- Press and release the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain transmitter.
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE:
- Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
- Press both buttons on the keychain transmitter.
Note: Must be selected on during installation.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC):
- Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid. The red dash-mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive arming has begun.
- 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 red dash-mounted LED begins to flash slowly, the parking lights flash one time and the siren sounds one chirp.
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 red 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.
- Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
- Any strong impact to the vehicle's glass/body will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 seconds alarm cycle. A milder impact will cause the siren to emit a few short warming tones.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM: As you approach the vehicle, press and release the ARM/DISARM button on the keychain transmitter.
- Red dash mounted LED turns off. If passive arming is selected, the LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is rearming 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 this manual to identify which zone was triggered.
Note: Anytime the system is disarmed, the unit will rearm automatically unless a door is opened . This will occur regardless of the arming method selected.
SILENT DISARMING: As you approach the vehicle, press both buttons on the keychain transmitter. Note: Must be selected on during installation.
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 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 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.
- If the LED is flashing four times...pause...four times...pause...etc; then the shock sensor was activated in your absence.
- If the LED is flashing five times...pause...five times...pause...etc; then an attempt to start the vehicle by the ignition switch had occurred in your absence.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system's memory, and will only be erased when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET SWITCH: 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. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by operating the manual override sequence.
- From the disarmed condition, turn the ignition key to the on position.
- Press and hold the valet push-button switch until the dash mounted LED, (Light Emitting Diode) turns on. The LED will remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
- To return to normal operation, turn the ignition switch on, then press and hold the push button switch until the LED turns off.
Note: Always remember to return the system to the NON VALET mode, after servicing, to ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM: USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE: Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its battery fails. To override the system:
- Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
- Turn the ignition key to the on position.
- Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch. The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the disarmed mode. You can now start and operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. You may elect to enter the VALET mode until repair or replacement of the transmitter, after which, returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary. To do so, see the heading VALET SWITCH.
ELIMINATING ARM/DISARM CHIRPS: You can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or disarm the system simply by pressing both transmitter buttons. To turn chirps off permanently, selectable features #6 & #7 must be turned off in the feature programming section of the installation manual. Refer to this manual or consult with your installation technician to have this feature turned off.
Note: Whenever the chirps are bypassed, the 4 chirps 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.
SENSOR DEFEAT FROM THE TRANSMITTER: This system has the ability to allow the sensor to be defeated, from the transmitter, entirely for one arming cycle. To eliminate the sensor for one arming cycle: Arm the system by pressing the arm button of the transmitter one time. If within 3 seconds of arming the system you press the arm button a second time, the sensor will be defeated for one arming cycle. If the system emits two chirps, you waited too long and inadvertently disarmed the system.
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION: The ARM or DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for use in emergency situations. To use this feature:
- Press and hold the ARM or DISARM button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
- To stop the alarm, press and hold the ARM or DISARM button on the transmitter again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop After 30 seconds.
