The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific

transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver

function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the

Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an

authorized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the

instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard

Configuration transmitter.

locking

Pressing for one second locks the system by activating the

starter kill and locking the doors (if connected). The horn will

honk (if connected) and the parking lights will flash once to

confirm locking of the system. While the system is locked, the

status LED will flash once per second. The Failsafe®Starter Kill

(if installed) will also prevent the vehicle’s starter from cranking.

➜

The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Failsafe®

Starter Kill automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has

been programmed for Passive Mode, the Failsafe®Starter Kill will

automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been

turned off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED

will flash rapidly to indicate that the system is in Passive Mode.

If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible

to program the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking,

the vehicle doors lock automatically at the same time that the Failsafe®

Starter Kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed on, care

must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.

unlocking

Pressing for one second unlocks the system and the doors (if

connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected) and the

parking lights will flash twice to confirm unlocking of the system.

The optional Failsafe®Starter Kill will be deactivated. The status

LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed for Passive

Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will flash rapidly when the

system is unlocked. This indicates that the system will re-engage

the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if Passive Locking has been

➜

note: For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe®

Starter Kill relay must be installed.

note: Manually locking the vehicle does not arm the sys-

tem; it will only lock the doors.
