þ Red dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second
passive arming has begun.
2. 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;
þ Red dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
þ Parking Lights flash one time.
þ Siren sounds one chirp
If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have
been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled
“ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS“ in this manual.
o Doors Lock - Optional
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature.
The alarm can be programmed to allow the doors to lock only
when arming using the keychain transmitter, and they will not
automatically lock during passive arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
þ 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.
þ 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.
þ 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.
o 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.
þ Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short
series of warning tones.
þ Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for
the full 30 second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock button on the
keychain transmitter.
þ Red dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the

LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-
arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the auto-
matic arming.
þ 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.
þ 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.
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 this manual.
o Doors Unlock - Optional
Note:If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock
transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, press-
ing the unlock button a second time will cause all doors to unlock. If
your transmitter has a separate lock unlock buttons, pressing the
unlock button anytime after the first unlock command will cause all
the vehicle doors to unlock.
SILENT DISARMING
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the Unlock button on the keychain
transmitter for 2 seconds.
þ Red dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then
the LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is
re arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the auto-
matic arming.
þ 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.
þ Siren will not sound.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and

pressing the unlock button a second time will cause all doors to
unlock. If your transmitter has a separate lock/unlock buttons, pre
ssing the unlock button anytime after the first unlock command will
cause all the vehicle doors to unlock.
WHILE THE 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
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 play-
ing near your vehicle that may accidently trigger your security system. In this case
you can cancel the siren sounding without disarming your alarm.
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.
ΠIf 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.
Ž 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.
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.
1. From the disarmed condition, turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton 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.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the push button switch
any time the ignition is on.

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 transmit-
ter. 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 this manual, to by-pass
the alarm system.
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 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 item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows
the consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of
security. To take advantage of this option, programmable feature # 10 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:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency
override sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren
or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and
releasing the pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch
off then on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and
releasing the pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. 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 one second pause between
each code, then the system will begin arming. If the LED flash pattern reports the

previously stored code, the new code was not entered correctly. Please repeat
steps 1 through 7 above considering the following.
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a
0 (Zero) or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert
back to the last successfully stored code.
Custom Code Programming Example:
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do
the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency
override sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren
or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set
the tenths digit. (As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the
tenths digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the push-button, turn the ignition
switch off then on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to
set the units digit. (As per the example, press and release 2 times to set
the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED flash
pattern.
You will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause.
This pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been
accepted and stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 8, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered,
this indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat
steps 1 through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0
(Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert
back to the last successfully stored code.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE 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.
1) Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.

Note: The siren will sound.
2) Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
3) Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4) Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
5) Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.
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.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any
time you arm or disarm the system simply by holding the ARM / 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 two seconds.To do this,
1. Turn the ignition key on then off.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch
three times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 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 by-passed, 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.
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 remote panic,
1. Press and hold the ARM or DISARM button on the keychain transmitter
for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. 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. Also if any transmitter
button other than the ARM or DISARM 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.
3. 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 ARM or DISARM
buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors respectively.
