transmitter functions The functions of the buttons described below correspond to a transmitter programmed with the default Standard Configuration. Refer to illustration for layout of icon buttons. standard configuration Button The arming and locking functions are controlled by pressing this button for one second. Button The disarming and unlocking functions are controlled by pressing this button for one second. Button Silent Mode™ and an optional auxiliary function are controlled by pressing this button.
using your system The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond to the standard configuration, unless otherwise specified. manual (active) arming The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or arm the security system and lock your vehicle’s doors (if connected) by pressing for one second. When the system arms, you will hear the horn chirp and the parking lights will flash once.
note: Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance discount. Check with your insurance agent note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or switchprotected 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. armed protection Arming your security system protects your vehicle in the following ways: z Light impacts to your vehicle will trigger the Warn Away® signal.
note: the vehicle may already be equipped with a starter kill relay from the factory. disarming Press to disarm the security system and unlock the doors (if con- nected). Disarming is confirmed when the parking lights flash twice and the horn emits two chirps. The horn chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics section of this manual.
and the vehicle should start. If it does not, you may have waited too long. Turn the ignition off and try again. Important: The Valet® switch can be programmed to respond to 1-5 presses for the disarm function. The factory default setting is one pulse. valet® mode Valet® Mode prevents your system from arming and triggering either automatically or with the transmitter. In Valet® Mode, all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will remain operational.
remote valet® You can also enter or exit Valet® Mode using your remote transmitter: 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . 4. Press again. The status LED will light solid if you are entering Valet® Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet® Mode. silent mode™ Use Silent Mode™ to temporarily turn off the arming or disarming chirps by briefly pressing before either arming or disarming. The confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only.
nuisance prevention circuitry® Your system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry® (NPC®) to prevent annoying repetitive trigger sequences caused by faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here’s how NPC® works: If the alarm is triggered by the same sensor or switch three times within a 60-minute period, your system interprets this pattern of triggers as false alarms.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle. arming diagnostics If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc.
Circuitry® has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the pattern of the flashing status LED will indicate which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones). The system retains this information in its memory and will continue to chirp four or five times each time the system is disarmed, until the next time the ignition is turned on. table of zones A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed below.
code hopping® The receiver and transmitter use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used. This Code Hopping® technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. By following this set code sequence, the receiver and transmitter stay synchronized, even if the remote transmitter is used out of range of the vehicle.
programming options Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in bold: z Active Arming or Passive Arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door is closed). z Arming and disarming confirmation horn chirps, On or Off. z Ignition controlled door lock feature, On or Off.
programming settings The following procedure outlines the steps required to change the feature settings detailed in the programming options section. To enter programming mode: 1. Open the drivers door: 2. Turn the ignition On, then Off: 3. Select a feature: Press and release the integrated LED/Valet® switch the number of times corresponding to the step you wish to change (see systems features menu). For example, to access passive arming, press and release once. Then press the button once more and HOLD it.
note: The valet® pulse count feature (8) and the channel 3 time output (9) have five possible settings. Pressing unlock will toggle through all the possible settings. system feature menu Step One Chirp* Two Chirps* 1 Active arming Passive arming 2 Audible arm/ disarm confirmation ON Audible Arm/disarm confirmation OFF 3 Ignition-controlled locking ON Ignition-controlled locking OFF 4 Ignition-controlled unlocking ON Ignition-controlled unlocking OFF 5 Active locking Passive locking 6 0.
once a feature is programmed z Other features can be programmed. z The Programming Mode can be exited if programming is complete. to access another feature Press and release the LED/Valet® switch the number of times necessary to advance from the feature you just programmed to the next one you want to program. Then press the integrated LED/Valet® switch once more and hold it.
feature descriptions 1. ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert the consumer of passive arming, the horn will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the consumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm but the horn will not chirp. 2.
6. DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some vehicles require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the door lock vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses, will accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses. 7. DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK ON/OFF: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the unlock relay will provide two pulses instead of a single pulse. 8.
programming a new transmitter/receiver The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following procedure to add transmitters to the system. 1. Open the driver’s door 2. Turn the ignition on. 3. Enter transmitter program: Press and release the integrated LED/Valet® switch once. Then press and hold the integrated LED/Valet® switch once more. The horn will chirp and the LED will blink once.
glossary of terms Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions. Failsafe® Starter Kill Relay (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by the security system that prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone. Two or more inputs may share the same zone.
