Your Warranty Your warranty card must be returned and the barcode serial number must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer. FCC/ID Notice This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules.
Standard Configuration Your vehicle security system is programmable, making it possible to assign any button on the remote 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. Unless otherwise specified, all instructions in this owner’s guide assume operation using the Standard Configuration.
and Buttons An optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that you have added to your system can be activated by pressing these buttons simultaneously. The auxiliary output controls _____________________________. Using Your System The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond to the standard configuration, unless otherwise specified. Arming You can arm the security system and lock your vehicle’s doors (if connected) by pressing for one second.
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 Passive Locking) and the status LED will begin flashing twice per second to indicate armed status. If Passive Locking is activated, care must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
Disarming Press to disarm the security system and unlock the doors (if connected). Disarming is confirmed when the parking lights flash twice and the siren emits two chirps. The siren chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics section of this manual. Disarming Without a Transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the remote transmitter, in the event that the transmitter is lost, damaged or disabled.
Silent Mode Use Silent Mode to temporarily turn off the arm or disarm confirmation chirps by briefly pressing before either arming or disarming. The confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. To permanently turn off the arm and disarm chirps, contact your dealer. NOTE: The Warn Away Response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using the Silent Mode. This ensures that the siren does not chirp in an environment where you don’t want chirps to be emitted.
To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch: 1. Turn the ignition on. DRW-35 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. The status LED will light steadily if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. Remote Valet® You can also activate Valet Mode with the remote transmitter: 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . 4. Press again.
your system ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. If the bypassed sensor is triggered again while it is already being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed. NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the Nuisance Prevention Circuitry.
input that was active when the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the system will resume normal monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm the system before the light turns off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns off, however, the system resumes normal monitoring.
ZONE (Number of LED Flashes) DESCRIPTION 1 Instant trigger—often used for hood/trunk pinswitches 2 Instant trigger—a heavier impact detected by the Doubleguard® Shock Sensor 3 Door switch trigger 4 Instant trigger—for optional sensors 5 Ignition trigger DEALER-INSTALLED OPTIONS Code Hopping ® The receiver and transmitter use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used.
Owner Recognition Using a system programming device, your dealer can program specific settings for each transmitter that is used with your system. The system is then capable of recalling the individual settings assigned to each transmitter. This Owner Recognition feature allows up to four users of the same system to have four different settings that meet their individual needs. NOTE: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a system programming device and the necessary software.
Multi-Vehicle Operation Your DEI security system has the ability to interface with other DEI vehicle security systems to control multiple vehicles using the same remote transmitter.
