Important Information

Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle

security system. This system has been designed to provide years of

trouble-free operation. This system requires no specific mainte-

nance. By carefully reading this owner's guide, you will maximize

the use of this system and its features.

Your warranty reply card must be returned. If the warranty reply

card is not returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also neces-

sary to keep your receipt, which reflects that the product was

installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the

warranty card from your dealer.

Your Warranty

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interfer-

ence received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

operate this device.

Using Your System

You can arm the security system by locking the vehicle doors with

your factory keyless entry transmitter. When the system arms, you

will hear a short siren sound (chirp) and the parking lights will

flash once. Once armed, the status LED will flash once per second

to indicate that your vehicle is being actively protected. If you

hear a second chirp after arming and notice that the status LED is

flashing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass Notification,

which is described in the Diagnostics section of this manual.

NOTE: If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming the secu-

rity system, the system will automatically disarm.

Arming

FCC/ID Notice

Arming the security system protects your vehicle in the

following ways:

■Light impacts trigger a Warn Away®Response, causing the

siren to chirp and the parking lights to flash for a few

seconds.

■Heavy impacts trip a triggered sequence, causing the siren to

sound continuously and the parking lights to flash for either

a 30 or 60-second period. (See Programming Options.)

■If a door is opened, the siren immediately starts chirping and

the parking lights instantly start flashing. Three seconds

later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This

two-stage progressive response allows you time to disarm the

system with your transmitter if a door is inadvertently

opened while the system is armed. This feature can also be

programmed for delayed response, which allows you 15 sec-

onds to disarm the system before the full trigger activates.

(See Programming Options)

■The starter interrupt relay prevents the vehicle’s starter

from cranking.

You can disarm the security system by unlocking the vehicle doors

with your transmitter. When the system disarms, two chirps are

emitted, the parking lights flash twice, and the LED stops

flashing. The siren chirping either four or five times when

disarming indicates Tamper Alert. (See Diagnostics section for

more details.)

Disarming

If your transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm

your security system.

To disarm using the Valet switch:

To disarm the security system without a transmitter, you must

have the ignition key and know where the Valet switch is located.

Be sure to check with your installer at the time of installation for

both the location and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the

Valet switch.

Turn the ignition key on and press

the Valet switch the preset number

of times within 15 seconds. If the

system does not disarm, you may

have waited too long to press the

Valet switch; turn the ignition off

and repeat the process.

IMPORTANT! The Valet switch can be programmed to respond to 1-5

presses for the disarm function. You must check with the installer to

verify the programming for your individual unit.

LOCATION OF VALET SWITCH______________________________

To disarm using the vehicle key:

In addition to being able to disarm the security system using the

Valet switch, your system may have been programmed so that it

can be disarmed whenever the vehicle key is used to open the dri-

ver’s or passenger’s door.

DRW-35

Disarming Without a Transmitter

NOTE: This feature is only available if your system has been programmed

with the Level I security setting. (See Glossary section of this manual for

Level I security description.) Consult with your installer to determine if

your vehicle has been programmed for Level I security.

To disarm the security system with the vehicle’s door key:

1. Insert the key into one of the door key cylinders.

2. Turn the key until the vehicle door(s) unlocks. The siren

will chirp to confirm that the security system has been

disarmed.

Panic Mode is a programmable option of your security system. (See

Programming Options section of this guide.) This is because most

original equipment from the manufacturer (OEM) keyless entry

systems already have a remote-activated panic feature. In order for

Panic Mode to be operational, the siren or horn must be connected

to the security system.

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract

attention by activating Panic Mode. Press the lock button on your

factory keyless entry transmitter twice within three seconds

to sound the siren and flash the parking lights for 30 seconds. To

stop Panic Mode at any time, press the unlock button on your

transmitter.

NOTE: Panic Mode is not available with all factory keyless entry

systems, due to the fact that the lock button may not be triggered a

second time once the vehicle doors have been locked with the factory

transmitter.

Panic Mode (Optional)

Trunk access with your transmitter:

While the system is armed, you can open the trunk by pressing the

trunk release button on your transmitter without triggering the

alarm. Only the trunk sensors are bypassed while the rest of the

security system remains armed. Normal trunk monitoring will

resume 5 seconds after the trunk has been closed.

Trunk access with your key:

If the system is programmed for Level I security (see Glossary

section of this manual for a description of Level I security), you

may also open the trunk with your vehicle key while the system is

armed, without triggering the alarm. Normal trunk monitoring will

resume 5 seconds after the trunk has been closed. Consult with

your installer to determine if your vehicle has been programmed for

Level I security.

NOTE: This feature is not available for Buick LeSabres, Oldsmobile

Auroras, Pontiac Bonnevilles and Jeep Grand Cherokees. The alarm will

trigger if you open the trunk of one of these vehicles with the key while

the system is armed.

Valet Mode is a feature that prevents your security system from

arming or triggering either automatically or with your factory

keyless entry transmitter. In Valet Mode, the security system will

not arm, even with the remote transmitter, but all convenience

functions, such as door locks, trunk release, etc., will function nor-

mally. Valet Mode is useful when washing or servicing your vehicle.
