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. By carefully reading this owner's guide,

you will maximize the use of this system and its features.

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is pow-

ered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last

approximately one year under normal use. When the battery begins

to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the

remote will dim. To access the battery for replacement, remove the

rear cover of the remote with a small, flat-blade screwdriver.

System Maintenance

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.

Transmitter Functions

Your vehicle security system is programmable, making it possible

to assign any button on the transmitter to any specific receiver

function. The remote transmitter initially comes programmed with

the Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an

authorized dealer. All instructions in this manual assume operation

using the Standard Configuration.

The functions of the buttons described in this section correspond

to a remote transmitter programmed with the default Standard

Configuration. These buttons will function differently in a Custom

Configuration.

Using Your System

Remember, use of the buttons described in all instructions in this

manual corresponds to the Standard Configuration, unless other-

wise specified.

You can arm the security system and lock your vehicle's doors by

pressing for one second. 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 the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a

second chirp after arming and notice that the status LED is flash-

ing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass Notification. Bypass

Notification is described in further detail in the Diagnostics section

of this manual.

Your vehicle security system can also be programmed to arm itself

automatically 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the

last vehicle door has been closed (called Passive Arming). Once the

30-second countdown period initiates, the status LED will flash

twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. After 20

seconds, the siren will chirp once to warn that the system has only

10 seconds remaining prior to arming. The system is not actually

armed at this point. The system arms itself at the 30-second mark.

At this point, the vehicle doors will also lock (if programmed for

Arming

Passive Locking) and the status LED will begin flashing once per

second to indicate armed status. If the system is programmed for

Passive Locking, care must be taken to prevent the keys from being

locked in the vehicle.

NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or switch-protected

trunk or hood) is open, Passive Arming will not engage. Additionally,

each time a sensor is triggered during the 30-second arming countdown,

the countdown starts over.

Arming your security system protects your vehicle in the follow-

ing 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, which consists of the

siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing

for 30 seconds.

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

the parking lights start flashing to provide an instant

response. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a

continuous blast. This two-stage progressive response allows

you time to disarm the security system with your remote

transmitter, in case the door is inadvertently opened while

the system is armed.

■Turning on the ignition key triggers the same two-stage pro-

gressive response as opening a door.

■The starter interrupt relay prevents the vehicle’s starter from

cranking.
