Protection While the System is Armed:	Opening any protected entry point will cause the alarm to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left the door opened, the unit will sound for six 30 second cycles then shut down, isolate the triggered zone and continue to protect all other zones. Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to a potential thief. Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle parking lights will flash for the full siren sounding period. Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, even with the ignition key the vehicle will not start. Whenever the system is armed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause the shock detector to trigger the alarm. Any lesser impact will cause the pre-detect stage of the shock sensor to emit a few short series of warning tones from the siren.
Disarming the System:	As you approach the vehicle, press and release the arm/disarm button one time.
Silent Disarming:	As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the arm/disarm button for two seconds.
Intrusion Warning Signal:	This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3 times. Enter the vehicle and before turning on the ignition switch, observe the LED flash pattern. If the LED flashes one time...pause...one time...pause, etc. then an intrusion attempt was made by impact or a strong vibration that the shock sensor detected. Check the vehicle for possible damage to the glass or body panels. If the LED flashes two times...pause...two times...pause, etc. then an intrusion attempt was made to open the hood, trunk or by an accessory triggering device. Check the vehicle for indications of forced entry to these openings. If the LED flashes three times...pause...three times...pause, etc. then an intrusion attempt was made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indication of forced entry. Note: The LED intrusion warning indications are stored in the system's memory and will be erased when the ignition switch is turned on.

Eliminating the Arm/Disarm Chirps:	You can selectively eliminate the arm/disarm chirps by holding the transmitter button slightly longer when arming or disarming.

Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, flip the valet switch on, off, on, off, on, off.

If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will emit one short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.
