Transmitter Functions

This system is programmable, making it possible to assign any trans-

mitter button to any specific receiver function. The remote initially

comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be

customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instruc-

tions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration remote.

Button I

The arm/disarm/panic functions are usually controlled by .

Button II

Silent Mode™, Remote Valet®, and an optional auxiliary function

(such as trunk release) are usually controlled by . (Silent Mode

and Remote Valet work by pressing for less than one second.

An optional auxiliary output is controlled by pressing and holding

for 1.5 seconds.)

This auxiliary output controls ____________________________.

Buttons I and II

A user-assigned convenience or expansion option that you have

added to your system can be activated by pressing and

simultaneously.

This auxiliary output controls_____________________________.

NOTE: If using an optional four-button remote, the Standard

Configuration may be assigned to buttons III and IV of the transmitter.

Standard Configuration

Using Your System

The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond

to a standard configuration transmitter, unless otherwise specified.

You can arm the security system 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 flashing in a grouped pattern,

this signals Bypass Notification. Bypass Notification is described in

detail in the Diagnostics section of this manual.

Your security system can also be programmed for Passive Arming.

With Passive Arming, the system automatically arms itself 30 seconds

after the ignition has been turned off and the last door has been

closed. During the 30-second Passive Arming countdown, the status

LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed.

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 Passive Arming countdown, the

countdown starts over.

Arming your 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.

Arming

■Heavy impacts trip a trigger 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 kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.

Press to disarm the system when it is already armed. Disarming

is confirmed when the parking lights flash twice and the siren

emits two chirps. The status LED will also stop flashing. The siren

chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates Tamper

Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics section of this guide.

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

disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without

a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know

where the Valet switch is located. Be sure to check with your installer

at the time of installation for the location of the Valet switch.
