Operating Instructions

Remote Control Each of the pair of remote controls is a miniature radio transmitter with a typical range of up to 100 feet. Obstructions, radio interference, cellular transmissions or a weak remote control battery may reduce the range or interrupt transmission. (If the system does not immediately respond, release and press the button again. This works better than holding the button down.) The second remote can be used by a second driver, or kept as a spare. To Arm The System The alarm can be programmed for active or passive arming. Active arming means the alarm can only be armed with the remote control. Passive arming means the alarm will automatically arm itself. See the "Programming Table for Alarm Features" on page 9.
Active Arming. Press remote button #1 for 1-2 seconds. The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice, the doors will lock, the LED will flash slowly and the starter will be disabled. Passive Arming. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle and close the doors. When the interior lights turn off, the LED will flash rapidly for 30 seconds to indicate the system is passive arming. The LED will then flash slowly to indicate the system is armed and the starter is disabled. (At any time during passive arming, you may actively arm the alarm.)
To Disarm the System Press remote button #1 for 1-2 seconds. The siren will chirp once, the parking lights will flash once, the doors will unlock, the interior lights will turn on (if the optional interior light illumination relay was installed), the LED will turn off and the starter will be enabled.
To Silently Arm or Disarm the System Press remote button #3 for 1-2 seconds.
Silent Arm Indications. The parking lights will flash twice, the doors will lock, the starter will be disabled and the LED will flash slowly. Silent Disarm Indications. The parking lights will flash once, the doors will unlock, the starter will be enabled and the LED will turn off.
Interior Light Illumination Capability When the alarm system is remotely disarmed, the vehicle's interior light(s) will turn on for 30 seconds or until the ignition key is turned on (requires an optional relay). To Activate an Accessory Press remote button #2 for 1-2 seconds to activate an optional accessory such as trunk release, remote engine starter or a remote control garage door opener. Valet Switch The valet switch is a small hidden toggle switch that allows you to program many features of the alarm system and prevent passive arming. In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, you can also use this switch to bypass (shut off) the alarm system.

BE SURE TO ASK YOUR DEALER TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE VALET SWITCH IS LOCATED.
If passive arming is turned on, you should put your system in Valet Mode when your car is being serviced by mechanics, car wash personnel or driven by valet attendants. While in Valet Mode, all alarm functions are bypassed to prevent undesired or accidental arming.
To Turn on Valet Mode 1. Turn your ignition key to the "ON" position or start the vehicle. 2. Flick the valet switch to the "ON" position. 3. The LED will turn on solid red to indicate the alarm is in Valet Mode.
Turn off Valet Mode 1. Turn your ignition key to the "ON" position or start the vehicle. 2. Flick the valet switch to the "OFF" position. 3. The LED will turn off to indicate the alarm is no longer in Valet Mode.
User Programmable Passive Door Locking The system will not automatically lock the doors when the alarm passively arms to prevent the keys and remote from accidentally being locked in the vehicle. If you prefer, you can easily program the alarm to automatically lock the doors every time the alarm passively arms. See the "Programming Table for Alarm Features" on page 9. To Activate Remote Panic Press and hold button #1 for 3-4 seconds. The siren will sound continually and the parking lights will flash on and off. If the ignition key is off, the doors will unlock. If the ignition key is on, the doors will lock. To deactivate, press button #1 for 1-2 seconds. Keyless Entry in Valet Mode While the system is in Valet Mode, you can still use your remote control to lock and unlock the doors as well as activate any optional accessory such as trunk release or remote engine starter. LED Status Indicator The LED on your vehicles dashboard or center console will inform you of the system status.

Previous Intrusion Alert If the vehicle had been tampered with and the alarm has been triggered, the siren will chirp 3 times upon remote disarm instead of the usual 1 chirp. Specific Intrusion Identification If the alarm had been triggered in your absence, the siren will chirp 3 times upon remote disarm (Previous Intrusion Alert). When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition, the LED will flash in cycles to specifically identify which zone triggered the alarm.

Automatic Malfunction Override In the event of a faulty sensor or alarm input trigger zone, the alarm, when remotely armed, will alert you by a series of chirps and light flashes. Instant Remote Control Code Deletion In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be erased from memory to prevent unauthorized alarm operation. See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on pages 10 and 11. Remote Control Code Learning The alarm can be programmed to accept as many as four separate remote controls. See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on pages 10 and 11. Alarm State Memory

How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light Flashes When you press the remote control buttons, the system will respond with chirps (unless you have the chirp muting feature turned on or the system is in Valet Mode) and flashes of the parking lights to indicate the system status. An explanation of these chirp/flash acknowledgments is as follows:
Meaning Disarming of the alarm Arming of the alarm Armed and there is a sensor malfunction (automatically bypassed) Disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt Armed and there is a trigger malfunction (automatically bypassed)
Number of chirps and flashes 2 and then 4
Programming Alarm System Features
All programmable alarm features are accomplished by turning the ignition key on (or starting the vehicle) and flicking the valet switch on and off a preset number of times. 1. Remove the alarm from Valet Mode. Programming cannot be accessed while the alarm is in Valet Mode, indicated by the LED on solid red. 2. Select the feature you wish to program from the "Programming Table for Alarm Features." Note the number of chirps. 3. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. 4. Within 10 seconds, begin flicking the valet switch on and off. The siren will chirp one time each time you flick the switch on, then off. 5. Continue flicking the switch on and off until you reach the number of chirps associated with your chosen feature.

NOTE: Stop on the chirp.

6. After a 3 second pause, you will hear 1 or 2 chirps to confirm that you have changed the setting of that feature. 7. Turn the ignition key off. 8. Repeat steps 1-7 for any other feature you wish to program.
