Operating Instructions for PRO9246FT3 Keyless Entry System
Arming the System: (Active)	Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors. Press and release the Lock button on the key chain transmitter. The doors will lock, the LED will begin to flash slowly and the vehicle's parking lamps will flash once, if the optional parking light flasher was added.
Arming the System: (Passive)	Passive (Automatic) arming and locking is a selectable feature and may not be activated in your vehicle. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors. Note: Automatic passive arming will not begin until all doors are closed, allowing passenger to exit the vehicle at their convenience. The LED will begin to flash rapidly, 30 seconds later the system is armed, the vehicle's parking lamps will flash one time if the optional parking light flasher was added. Note: The Keyless Entry control module can be programmed to either automatically lock the doors during step 2 above or only lock the doors when step 3 is executed. If you wish to Lock/Arm the system immediately, simply press and release the Lock button on the key chain transmitter. The doors will lock, the LED will begin to flash and the vehicle's parking lamps will flash once, if the optional parking light flasher was added.
Protection while the system is armed:	Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle's starter will be bypassed (optional). If a thief should attempt, the vehicle cannot be started.
Disarming the System:	As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock button on the key chain transmitter. The LED will turn off, the vehicle's parking lamps will flash 2 times (if added), the doors will unlock and the vehicle's interior courtesy light will turn on for approximately 20 seconds, indicating that the system is disarmed. Note: If the passive arming feature is activated in your vehicle, the LED will begin to flash rapidly when the unlock button is pressed. Opening any door will suspend the arming process. Note: If the optional 2-step unlock feature was installed, then only the driver's door will unlock during step 1 above. To unlock all doors, press the unlock button of the transmitter a second time. Never attempt to disarm the system from a distance that prevents you from opening a door within 30 seconds, when the system is programmed for passive arming as the system will begin to re-arm until a door is opened. Opening the door will suspend the passive arming cycle.
Car Finder:	As an added convenience, your system has the ability to flash the parking lights (if this option has been added) on command from the transmitter. This feature is particularly useful to help locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot. To access this feature, simply press and hold the lock or unlock button of your key chain transmitter for three seconds. This mode will cancel automatically after 30 seconds, or you can cancel it from the transmitter by pressing the same transmitter button again for three seconds. This mode can also be canceled immediately, by pressing any button other than the lock or unlock button.
Valet Switch	The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass your system's security functions, eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, the starter inhibit feature, if installed, is bypassed, however the remote door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your key chain transmitter, or by manually overriding the system. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the On position. Press and hold the valet/override push-button switch for 5 seconds. The LED turns on, indicating valet mode has been successfully entered. To return to normal operation, press and release the push-button switch any time the ignition is on. Note: Always remember to exit the valet mode to ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
Using the Valet Switch Manual Override:	Your security system can be disarmed without the use of the key chain transmitter. 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 your owner's manual, to bypass the alarm system: Open the vehicle door. Turn the ignition key to the on position. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet push-button switch. The system will 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:	To program you custom override code, programmable feature #6 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: Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch 3 times. Within 10 seconds, turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on (the lights will flash one time). Within 10 seconds, begin to enter the tenths digit of the override code by pressing and releasing the override push-button switch 1 through 9 times. Within 10 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter the units digit by pressing and releasing the push-button switch 1 through 9 times. 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 flashing the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report the new code three times with a once second pause between each code, then the system will begin arming (if passive arming has been selected). If the LED flash pattern reports the previously stored code, the new code was not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through 8 above considering the following: Notes: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a Zero or no digit entered in any place. If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more than 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last successfully stored code.
Using 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: Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position. Within 5 seconds, press and release the push-button switch 1 time. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on. Within 5 seconds, press and release the push-button switch 1 time. Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle. (If optional parking light relay was installed, the light will flash twice, if the optional horn annunciation circuit was installed, the horn will beep twice). 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.
Optional Device Output (Channel 3):	This security system in equipped with an output which will activate when the appropriate transmitter button is depressed for 4 seconds. Optional devices that may be connected to this channel are: Remote Electric Trunk Release Remote Car Starter Remote Window Closure Remote Garage Door Interface Note: In addition, there may be a second optional feature connected to your system that when the same transmitter button is pressed and released 2 times within 3 seconds (double pressed), the second optional feature will activate. This output is typically used for a remote start option and will likely prevent inadvertent activation of the remote start device if young children are playing with the hand-held transmitter. If your vehicle is not equipped with an electronic trunk release switch, or other option listed, this feature may not have been connected to another accessory. Please ask your dealer for further information.
