will help to ensure that your vehicle is protected at all times.

NOTE: This system can be installed as a remote start upgrade operating

without any alarm functions. If this is the case with your vehicle's

installation, there will be no audible alert when the vehicle door,

hood, or trunk is opened while locked from the transmitter.

Also,the system has the ability to beep the vehicle's horn, sound

a siren, or both. Where a beep or chirp is mentioned, consider

either or both may sound.

USINGTHE VALET SWITCH:

The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, elimi-

nating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage

mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all alarm functions are by-

passed,however theremotepanic featureand remotedoorlocks willremain

operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed

either by using your keychain transmitter, or by overriding the system as

explainedin theManual OverrideSection ofthis manual.

TOENTERTHEVALETMODE:

1. Disarm the unit by use of the factory transmitter or by use of the manual

overridesequence.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

TOEXITVALET:

With the ignition switch in the on position, press and release the same

pushbuttonswitch usedtoenter thevaletmode onetime. TheLEDturns off

indicating the valet mode has successfully been exited.

MANUALLYOVERRIDINGYOUR SYSTEM:

USING SIMPLE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE

If your factory transmitter is lost, broken, or otherwise rendered inoperable

your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain

transmitter.This isnecessary,since youwillneed theability tooperate 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 override the alarm system;

1.Openthe vehicledoor.The alarmwill sound.

2.Turn the ignition key to the on position.

3.Within 5 seconds, press and hold the valet pushbutton switch found the

dashmount PRLED,or ontheoptionalglassmounted receiver.

The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode.

Youcannow startand operate thevehicle normally.

Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become

inoperative.

PROGRAMMINGYOURCUSTOMCODE OVERRIDE CODE:

Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this system allows

the consumer toprogram apersonaloverride code,offeringa higherlevelof

security. The system comes from the factory with a pre-programmed over-

ridecode of11.To changethis defaultoverride code,do thefollowing:

1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency

overridesequence. Turntheignition switchto theon position.

2. Within 10 seconds, press and release PRLED, or the optional

push-buttonswitchfoundontheglassmountedreceiverassembly3times.

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 thePRLED, orthe optionalpush-button

switch found on the glass mounted receiver assembly from 1 up to 9

times.

5. Within10secondsof thelastentered10thsdigit, turntheignitionswitchoff

thenon.

6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by

pressing and releasing thePRLED, orthe optionalpush-button switch

found on the glass mounted receiver assembly 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 theLED, firstindicating the10ths digit,pause and thenthe

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

recognizea 0(Zero),or nodigit enteredin anyplace, unitsor 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.
