Your System has many features and available options some of which are

selected at time of installation. Consult your installing dealer for options that

may have been installed and are not listed.

ARMINGTHESYSTEM:

1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.

2. Press and release the LOCK button of your key chain transmitter 1 time.

The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash

mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you

have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.

NOTE: If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or

hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection.

If the siren "chirped" 3 times, sometime after arming, the delayed dome light

learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a open entry

point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors

will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make

the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps

have been turned OFFand you should refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING

THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

SILENTARMING:

1. Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.

2. Press and release the ARM and DiSARM buttons of your keychain

transmitter simultaneously.

The parking lights will flash once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to

flash slowly confirming the system is armed. The siren will not chirp. If you

have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.

NOTE: If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk, or

hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If

the siren "chirped" 3 times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed

dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a

open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,

trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm the

system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound when arming,

then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section titled

"ELIMINATING THEARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

PASSIVEARMINGTHESYSTEM:

If the passive arming feature has been selected:

Turn the engine OFF, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.

The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30

second passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash

rapidly, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point

will allow the arming cycle will begin. If any entry point is opened during the

30 second arming cycle, arming will be suspended. When all entry points are

closed, the arming cycle will begin again.

At the end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will

chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming

the system is armed. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps

have been turned off. Refer to the section on "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm

Chirps" shown later in this manual. Passive door locking is a selectable

feature. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors

may or may not lock passively depending upon the setup during installation.

PROTECTIONWHILETHE SYSTEM ISARMED:

Opening any protected entry point, hood, trunk, or doors 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 system 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. This LED is a very low current

light emitting diode, and will not cause the battery to drain even if left

unattended for long periods of time.

Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the

full siren sounding period. Optional - whenever the system is triggered, the

interior courtesy light will flash for the full siren sounding period.

Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, and the

vehicle will not start with the ignition key.

Whenever the system is armed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause

the shock sensor 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.

DISARMINGTHESYSTEM:

As you approach the vehicle, press and release the DISARM button on the

keychain transmitter. The parking lights will flash 2 times, the siren will chirp 2

times, and the dash mounted LED will turn off.

If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock.

NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the

dash mounted LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is

rearming. Opening any door will suspend the automatic arming.

If the parking lights flashed 3 times, and the siren chirps 4 times, this

indicates that the alarm system was triggered during your absence. Before

turning on the ignition key, examine the dash mounted LED's flash pattern.

The number of flashes identifies the triggered zone. For additional

information, refer to INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS found later in this

manual.

If the siren did not sound upon disarm, then the chirps have been turned off.

Refer to the section titled ELIMINATING THEARM/DISARM CHIRPS.

SILENTDISARMING:

As you approach the vehicle, press and release the ARM and DISARM buttons

on your key chain transmitter simultaneously.

The parking lights will flash 2 times, and the dash mounted LED will turn off

confirming that the system is disarmed. The siren will not chirp. If you have the

optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock..

NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the

dash mounted LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is

rearming. Opening any door will suspend the automatic arming. If the parking

lights flashed 3 times, and the siren chirps 4 times, this indicates that the

alarm system had been triggered in your absence. Before turning on the

ignition key, examine the dash mounted LED's flash pattern. The number of

flashes identifies the triggered zone. For additional information, refer to

INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS found later in this manual.

INTRUSIONWARNINGSIGNAL:

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 2 times...pause, 2 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 3 times...pause, 3 times...pause etc., then an intrusion

attempt was made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indications of

forced entry.

If the LED flashes 4 times...pause, 4 times...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 5 times...pause, 5 times...pause etc., then an intrusion

attempt was made by the ignition switch.

NOTE: The LED intrusion warning indications are stored in the system's

memory and will be erased when the ignition switch 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.

1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the ON position.

2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED

turns on solid. The system will remain in the 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 vehicle to the valet OFF position. This

will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.

MANUALLYOVERRIDINGYOURSYSTEM:

USINGTHEVALETSWITCH/MANUALOVERRIDE

Your system can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This

is necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the

transmitter is lost or its battery fails. To by-pass the alarm system;

1. Open the vehicle door. The system will sound.

2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

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

The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (by-passed) mode. You

can now start and operate the vehicle normally.

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

inoperative.

REMOTEPANICOPERATION:

The PANIC button on your keychain transmitter functions as a panic switch for

use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,

1. Press and hold the PANIC button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or more

seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.

2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the PANIC button on the transmitter again

for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop

after 30 seconds.

NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock, or the

Unlock buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors

respectively. While in the panic mode, anytime the unlock button is pressed,

the panic feature will continue for the allotted 30 seconds, however, the

security system will be disarmed allowing the vehicle to start.

ADDITIONALREMOTEFUNCTIONCHANNEL3

The system has an optional feature, (Channel 3), that can be connected to the

Trunk Release. To operate channel 3, press and hold the TRUNK button of

your keychain transmitter for 4 seconds.

ANTIHI-JACKMODEOPERATION

1. a) With the ignition switch on, and the doors closed, press and hold both

buttons of your keychain transmitter for 1 second to initiate the anti hi-

jack mode or open the door any time the ignition is on.

b) If while the ignition is on, and a door is opened and then all doors are

closed, the system will enter the anti hi-jack mode. The parking lights will

turn on for 1.5 seconds to indicate the mode was initiated.

2. 60 seconds after initiation, the siren will begin to sound and the parking

lights will begin to flash.

3. 90 seconds after initiation, the starter inhibit circuit, (if installed) will be

activated, the siren will sound and the parking lights will flash until the

vehicle's battery is dead, or until the system is reset.

Note: If you are the unfortunate victim of a vehicle hi-jack, for your personal

safety, it is best to leave the vehicle as quickly as possible. Never attempt to

oppose the thief in any way. If the thief prevents you from leaving the vehicle,

disarm the anti hi-jack mode to prevent the system from sounding while you

are in the presence of your captor. Once you exit the vehicle, opening and then

closing the door will initiate the anti hi-jack mode,and the system will go

through the cycle mentioned above. Once the engine is turned off, it cannot be

restarted if the optional starter inhibit circuit is installed. The system will

continue to make noise from the siren or horn and the parking lights will

continue to flash until the vehicle's battery is dead, or until the system is reset.

DISARMINGANTIHI-JACKMODE

Anytime after the anti hi-jack mode has been triggered, the circuit can be

disarmed simply by pressing the hidden push button switch. Depressing this

switch 1 time will reset the anti hi-jack mode.
